QUOTE(kyon22 @ Apr 7 2008, 12:25 AM) ok i just got my hands on gayass ep1 and 2 and watched them both on...A FOURTY TWO INCH PLASMA TV MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH (i came.) oh and double oh on 42" plasma is f***ing. fantastic. been steering away from the geass thread since ep1 is out knowingly AS is very spoiler prone (gundam 00 thread experience) and i havent decided on which subber to follow yet but anyways. first impression on the op: LOL GUNDAM 00?! eins right in the face, then lol nadleeh with the hairs, virtue...and plane mech kyrios? lolzzz... to be honest the OP, despite what everyone generally thinks (which sucks) i personally think its not that bad. its from orange range after all (with their kickass bleach OP1). but i think the main problem is that it hardly "attaches" with the anime, unlike what gundam 00 did with laraku and the brilliant green. and its really wierd on the tempo/highs and lows. and most importantly, i personally think its being overshadowed by gundam 00, especially when the bar was set so high, geass is like the next big thing and the op came out to be like "this". if there was no double oh, i think geass op isnt that bad after all. impressions on ED: wow, f***ing fail. the artworks are so much fail as if they are just random doujins (or are they actually just doujins??!!?) and like. yeah fail. EP1: pretty much whats been said has been said. lol pime taradox. and wtf messed up plot holes. EP2: SO MUCH BETTER and a HUGE remedy to ep1. and lulu is WAAAAAYYYY more badass than s1, which is a huge plus. seeing jumper geass is also awesome as hell. overall: too early to tell still. bar was risen a lil high from gundam 00, which makes a lot of overshadowing on geass ("the next big thing") and its gonna be real tough to pull it off. hopefully they can do it. comparing to the previous big thing ala gundam 00: again, too early to tell. double oh ending along with the last few episodes pulled the bar really damn high for geass to keep up, and ep 1 really messed it quite a bit. looking back, double oh ep 1 was pretty damn slow too. but it was on the level i think that wouldnt make people hate it, just not liking it. while geass is like, it will tick people off with the whole time paradox crap and the brain wash thingy. not to mention the INSANE wait since last season, and the whole last episode wait too and the really shitty cliffhanger ending. QUOTE(wolfx @ Apr 7 2008, 03:10 PM) Lelouch gayassed himself during his fight with Mao. more like plot armor/weapon etc etc if you ask me. thats the problem with 1 main hero animes compared to say double oh. but again, im dont mind it that much so long it isnt overboard. in fact thats how it has to be... (you cant friggin kill lulu before the anime/story ends cuz well DUR its rebellion of lelouch. or just like naruto, you cant friggin touch naruto cuz the damn title is his name)But then again Code Geass story is very much like Death Note where story elements will be introduced as deus ex machina elements. They may later reveal "Oh because Lelouch is a geass owner, he can geass himself more than once" and who knows later they reveal his geass actually gives him the ability to fly but he didn't know cuz he never tried. So my theory still stands that Lelouch mind wiped himself, and gave the ability over to someone else to become Zero, ie: Rollo, Lolo whatever his name is. QUOTE(e-jump @ Apr 8 2008, 09:42 AM) I AM RAGE!!! i rage upon this kinda bullshit tooi really hate it when they made 2 seasons of animu, and the missing pieces between 2 seasons is in the game. Nadesico also pulls this shit too between series and Movie RAGE!!!! *coughhackseriescough* QUOTE(wolfx @ Apr 8 2008, 10:12 AM) Not many ppl understand moon runes. lol you mentioned hack before i did XDYeahler....i'm sure they'll explain it later. Ejump, no need to RAGE. At least its not as bad as .hack series. U dunno how to play dun diss the haruhi game. QUOTE(Fyonne @ Apr 8 2008, 11:54 PM) lol i like suzaku too before he turn emo. but season2 hes like so f***ing badass and all... and LOLKNIGHTSOFROUND XD~ |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 18 2008, 08:56 PM) I dunno. i love the ED. Might be because I love all those Clamp mangos. And as the ED was Clamp official artworks, i love it. They never did it for the first season tho well prolly thats cuz im not too much of a clamp fan (though i liked chobits a lot, hmm maybe its just chi LOL!)the song itself isnt too appealing at the same time too besides the background artworks. lack of "colors" or animations or anything significant going on the back ground also contributes to its dislikening |

QUOTE(wellenstan @ Apr 18 2008, 10:30 PM) won't be more enjoyable i dont see how it wont be enjoyable when you move from lcd to plasma.unless you are watching full HDTVRip... But i thought code geass is broadcasted using HV (high video) in jp? e.g. using analog signal to display HD content even analog connection or not or no full HDTV rip or not (eg: just having 2 stupid thick lines on the top and bottom of ur screen) still doesnt deny the fact that it is a 42 incher and its still gonna be a LOT bigger than say an avg 22inch computer lcd screen. (which is what i have) and seriously, have watched hd anime or videos on plasma before? difference isnt big, but its enough for me to go "wow" especially the difference of what i currently use is a 22incher. FYI: geass is INDEED displayed in HD (HV is what japanese call it, which is Hi or High Vision, not video) |

Looks like rollo's geass isn't as limited as lulu's considering viletta's remark of how many of their own people has he killed And how come his geass makes me think of shakugan no shana... looking forward to ep.3 Chess Master vs. Ruthless Time Stopper Added on April 23, 2008, 9:31 am QUOTE(Aoshi_88 @ Apr 22 2008, 10:23 AM) ZOUNDZZZZ... my spine shivered. agree with you on that too.Suzaku is an arse for refusing to not join Lulu. Ideals are fine, but changing the system from the inside? Very very hard. And doesn't help the fact that he's an idealist. At least he's TRYING to change things via his position as Knight of Seven. But i find the fact that he's 'helping' the Emperor distasteful. Then again, it's not really prudent to tell people to surrender THEN say, " I CAN'T SHOOT UNARMED SOLDIERS" at which point they feel slighted and insulted and go in to OMGAHBERSERKHAX mode. however the way suzaku is doing, in terms of real life's perspective is concerned, is more realistic than lulu. If you havent noticed, the way lulu is going, its even arguebly worse than the brittania. Suzaku merely chosen the path that doesnt involve a huge ammount of collateral damage. And lets be honest here, lulu's main agenda is his hatred for the emperor/brittania, and to be his sis's savior. not really the "great savior" thats going to liberate japan for the sake of the 11's.

QUOTE(Aoshi_88 @ Apr 23 2008, 09:46 AM) More than one way to skin a cat. Likewise, more than one way to infect change, either internally or externally. Both have merits. Both have pitfalls. true that, though its "nothing wrong" from suzaku's side aside siding with a cruel emperor. Where as opposed to lulu he is sacrifising innocents for his own benefits. (again, his main agenda is not really for the people, more for himself or rather nunally)Do you kill a few to save many or do you kill many but also save many by killing many? Utilitarianism had one up on this. granted, the victor or conqueror is often viewed as the bad guy, in this case, brittania. throughout the course of geass anime, minus the few corrupted officers and the oppressive brittania citizens, brittania arent exactly the bad people, just a matter of conquering and being conquered. The same can be said to the over superpowers such as china. remember euphemia? if she never met that geass misfortune, suzaku's unrealistic ideals would've been more than realized. btw, the emperor is well aware of suzaku's intentions, and despite this, he still brought suzaku into the knights of round, AND show him the weapon that is even kept secret to even the highest officers amongst brittania and even the knights of round themselves. Perhaps he is looking forward to that change? who knows. realistically, when it comes to people, if they never stop hating brittania (in this case 11's), the emperor's conquest would face resistance. where else if he manage to get the people to side with him, thats a whole nother story |

QUOTE(wolfx @ Apr 23 2008, 10:20 AM) No person does something just for one reason. They may have a main reason at 1s, which later is justified by various other reasons. Thinking Lelouch did everything for sister is not true, because that is merely his justification. Lelouch is doing everything more out vengeance against his father. For killing his mom. For hurting Nunally. s2 suzaku is exactly what you've said, but i personally believe deep down theres the old s1 suzaku, the one before he snap after euphie is dead. the s2 suzaku we know is basically the aftermath of euphie, and lulu being zero.In truth, Lelouch hates his father's guts. That much we know. Then he justifies his actions being the smart guy that he is, that he will do everyone a favour if he defeated Britannia and his father. Nunally will be in a better world. The 11s will be happier. His father's oppresive kingdom will be in shambles. All these come as a profit loss calculation to him. If he truly cared for his sister, he rather not do anything in Area 11 and just be a normal high school kid. Nobody will bother them and they will live out their lives in peace. As far as Suzaku is concerned, he is probably disappointed that Lulu is his friend, but he stands by his word "like a true knight/samurai" that despite Zero being his friend, he is willing to end the rebellion and do things "his way". To change things internally. So I don't see him backstabbing anybody. If anyone, Lulu is the one betraying Suzaku's trust since he hid his identity all along. In true Taniguchi Goro fashion, no one side is truly right or truly wrong. Suzaku and Lelouch just gay for each other but express it by punching each other. Its the new kind of yaoi. Don't fully agree. Suzaku strikes me as someone who is idealistic and naive about what is really happening. Right now his main goal, is to change Britannia from the inside. And he thinks he's so noble doing this with the least amount of blood shed possible. His nature now is infact very hypocritical. Doesn't he know that Britannia is actually invading foreign soil and making slaves out of people? Does he know what Britannia does to enemies who surrender? He go and tell the Italians to surrender and their lives will be spared. Does Suzaku know that a fate worse than death awaits these people? He goes up there claiming he is so kind to let them live but is in fact so ignorant on what Britannia does. Is he aware on how 11s are treated after the Black Rebellion? Although not shown yet, I think Suzaku is the person with a colder heart. He is a person who will sacrifice his friends for a "greater good". Maybe as an example if Zero was in a building full of kids, Suzaku will end up being like a typical Britannian and shoot the whole building and kill Zero, thinking that he is saving more lives in the long run. His dark demeanor in season 2 gives me this vibe. But compare it to Lelouch who still cares for his sister, his comrades and his school mates, and doing all he can to protect them as well as to reach his goals, I believe Lelouch to be the more noble of the two. Conclusion: Suzaku thinks he's being mr nice guy but he's not. Lelouch thinks he's being mr. bad guy, but he's not. Its very interesting where this will go. The only way to change an empire internally is a military coup, or be king yourself. I don't see how Suzaku is going to ever achieve this. and as ive mentioned, although it isnt specifically shown as to how the 11's are treated post japan war (not the rebellion), its still moderately safe to say that only the few (well, i know theres a lot of bad brittanians out there, dont get me wrong) bad apples of brittania is being oppresive against the 11's. and lets not forget theres euphie on s1, that fights for the 11's, and tries to create a place where both can be "equal" (we know that aint gonna happen considering its brittania, but what euphie did comes pretty damn close) again, if its the s1 suzaku, im pretty damn sure he will go out of his way to sacrifice himself for innocent bystanders and all, a direct contrast of what you've said. we've seen it happening over and over where in a direct contrast again, zero is mercilessly hurting innocent people. Added on April 23, 2008, 1:48 pm QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 23 2008, 12:12 PM) From what I see, Lulu is more humane that Suzaku in this. For one, even if his method includes bloodshed, usually the one that dies are teh one that he wanted to die (he didn't kill Viletta when he had the chance for example). Suzaku meanwhile will kill anyone that oppose britannia. And honestly, in term of strategy wise, Lulu is better. his only downfall came when he prioritise Nunally over the Black Knights. Ironic, as it was because of Nunally that he started all of this and because of Nunally that he lost. you do realize that theres also a fair ammount of 11's that arent in the slums and all right? like the academy they are attending also have a few 11's IINM. read: Like wolfx said, he justified the using of 11 as his soldiers as he feel that if he won, they will be free. Remember that because of this Kallen forgive Lulu for ditching them at the end of season one and acknowledge him as the real Zero. And she's not really a forgiving person after what happened to her mom and brother. And I lol'ed when you say that Britannians are not exactly bad people. For one, the Japanese were stripped of all their rights and relegated to slums. except for euphie, I never saw any Britannians that cared about the well being for 11s. They are aristocrats that view the 11s as creatures lesser than animals. Reminds me of the USians and the Red Indians when they wanted to get rid of them. If it was not for the Navajo's language was unknown to the Japs during the war, the Injuns would have been fully wiped out by now. On Suzaku, well for one I cannot even comprehend what is he doing now. Yes, he is saying that he will change teh Britannian from the inside, but looking at it is. I want to ask. HOW? Yes, he might be now in the knights of 12. but from what I see, he's doing more damage than Zero is doing. At least Zero is giving hope to the people. QUOTE minus the few corrupted officers and the oppressive brittania citizens, brittania arent exactly the bad people, euphie alone is a good role model example. for suzaku, i do have the same question as you do: "how?" for now all we see is him being an extreme hypocrite, but knowing the s1 suzaku, he *SHOULD* have something under his sleeves, or some surprising plot. AFTERALL, he is one of the knights of round, and that alone is more power than any governor/commander around. (afaik its even higher than the royalties right? based from the convo in the ship) This post has been edited by Quazacolt: Apr 23 2008, 01:48 PM |

QUOTE(wolfx @ Apr 23 2008, 02:18 PM) True but remember Euphie herself does not approve of the Brittanian idealogy. Brittania is using some social darwinism as its idealogy so that "only the strong shall survive" and the rest of the lesser caste of people, slaves, conquered peoples will always be 2nd class citizens to them. Euphie is the minority within Britannia. presnap (aka s1) suzaku would definitely protect innocent bystanders even if they are in his way of zero. remember the few occurance suzaku had zero and in the end failed because of zero using other people and even innocent bystanders as shield/decoy etcHe might still protect innocent bystanders, because he thinks he is righteous for doing so. But if these bystanders are what stands between his way to Zero's he will most definately eliminate them. Btw when did Zero mercilessly hurt innocent people? Even when he involved innocent people when he took over that tall building in s1, he did it in a way to ensure their safety during the hostage situation. Although he won't go out of his way to protect people he doesn't know if it doesn't benefit him, he ensures everyone's welfare that is affected by his direct actions. Those are honorary Britannians, the title given to Suzaku in s1 which are slightly higher status in society compared to the common 11. I think post Black Rebellion, there are no such people anymore. Not sure about this. He is under direct command of the Emperor...so yeah that basically places him quite high up in the echelon militarily, but i doubt he has much power politically. Real world example would be the Defence Minister for United States who gets his orders directly from the president but has no power politically. most notably against brittanians (well one can argue that because majority of them are oppressive and cruel to the 11's, but unarmed civillians are still unarmed civillians) well due to the nature of brittania darwinism concept and there are multiple instances where cornelia/her knights especially gilford have stepped in and managed political tasks, and the fact that royalty is worth more than american's example of secretary of D. (like how most if not all of the prince/princesses have direct knights and can command army/govern places) granted, suzaku is not royalty, just a highest ranked knight, but considering the darwinism concept, which puts him "stronger than the rest", he should be able to have command over local governors for example. |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 23 2008, 02:40 PM) Euphie was different from Suzaku that she's quite the same as Zero, but not as extreme. She wants to change Britannia, and she was doing it openly opposing her father. It was a mistake on Lelouch part to geass her mind you, and in the end he had to kill her to euphie was different than suzaku in the sense that she has the capabilities to do what she was doing while suzaku was nothing but an honorary britt soldier (later on euphie's knight)- atone for his mistake of Gayassing her - prevent more killing of Britannia Granted that it did gave him the push that he wanted, but he did say that he agreed with Euphies way of thinking (and NOT suzaku) and the Geass was a mistake on his part QUOTE(Quazacolt) you do realize that theres also a fair ammount of 11's that arent in the slums and all right? like the academy they are attending also have a few 11's IINM. O'rly? Not many of them existed. Kallen aka Karen was a half Britannian, so she does not count as her facade is having her pose as a Britannian of noble descendantthat said, what euphie was doing is pretty much what suzaku wants to do (but couldnt, which is also a reason why you are claiming what you've posted) and instead of being the same as zero, shes doing it different. zero does it out hating his father and is merely using 11's as an excuse of being righteous, euphie on the other hand really wanted to help the 11's (thus the method and result is different). although this: - prevent more killing of Britannia more of preventing more killing of 11's QUOTE O'rly? Not many of them existed. Kallen aka Karen was a half Britannian, so she does not count as her facade is having her pose as a Britannian of noble descendant as wolfx mentioned, they are called honorary britts |

QUOTE(wolfx @ Apr 23 2008, 03:00 PM) Actually even if Euphie wasn't killed i don't think the plan would've worked so easily. Euphie would be branded a traitor and assasinated by other people....then events would've played out abit differently. Cornelia will definately join Euphie's side. So there might be a stronger rebellion or something. true that, however seeing how the emperor turned suzaku to a KOR despite knowing his intentions, there could be some interesting twist on how it turn out. afterall, euphie is a pretty strong lady herself (not so the millitary side, i meant politically) while cornelia is pretty much a millitary genius. alone they arent so perfect but both together can be a strong force and thats all the ever emperor cared.Yes well... he wasn't that cold in s1... because he still had half a conscience. Now... not so sure anymore. I was more interested in why u said Zero harmed innocent ppl. He did use them as shield but he didn't harm them. in regards to zero, while he never purposely go innocent people slaughtering (afaik), using them as shields or having them being "expendable" is just as bad in my book. |

QUOTE(kyon22 @ Apr 23 2008, 03:14 PM) do all royal family have military training? Euphie can even use an assault rifle and pilot a knightmare. Even lelouch can pilot a knightmare, since his mom is britainnia ace knightmare pilot... well, seeing how brittania works and knowing the emperor's way of thinkin, probably they do. since they need to be strong to survive Euphie death is necessary for the plot to go on. Imagine if she doesn't get geass by lelouch, the order of the black knight is disbanded and season 2 never exist.. as for euphie's death, its not a certain must for the plot to move on, as there can always be twists here and there so long it doesnt involve the main char (eg: killin lulu) |

QUOTE(wolfx @ Apr 29 2008, 12:24 AM) Hmmm ep 4 made some major "WTF" for me. 1stly, no reason why Lelouch shouldn't Geass Rollo right after he turned around. Instead of troublesome "hmmm shall emo f*** him to see if he joins me...if not...sniper will kill him". And i call bullshit on the "if i kill rollo the intelligence agency will suspect me". I'm sure he can stage a "accident" or something or even hide the body. too many plot holes indeed lol.2ndly, Rollo's geass.....i think Sunrise did a major f*ck up on this. Ep 4 reveals his geass stops people's perception of time. This is all cool and dandy since geass is supposed to mind f*ck you....but here's the thing. Ep2, the computers of the knightmare tracking the Vincent said "Target Lost". Wtf? Even computer's minds gets f***ed by the Geass? Also since the geass just affects the mind and not physical phenomenon, wouldn't the people in the mecha feel like their mecha is losing balance because their mind gets time stopped but actually their big mecha is still moving. So it won't seem like the Vincent teleported per se. And next scene that throws the whole geass out the window....during the assasination flashbacks....Rollo shoots his victims while they are Geassed. Now if its all just *(#@ in the mind....they should drop dead then and there....but they are still standing there as if its time stopped. The flashbacks never show the victims coming out of time stop and dying though. So its like wtf...Rollo is a shinobi....stop time, shoot ppl, then restart time....they all fall dead. LOL? Dunno...maybe Lelouch's interpretation of Rollo's geass is wrong but otherwise there's too much discrepancies with his power right now. based on your post which covers some of things i wanted to point out and more: isnt lulu's geass perma activated? why isnt rolo gayassed? rolo got anti geass? rolo was gayassed? ...??? you mentioned about rolo's gayass mindfarking mechs/computers, but based on lulu's camera recordings, it isnt the case, it still runs as normal. wtf is it exactly? as you mentioned bout the mechs, supposedly it only stops a person's perspective of time and not exactly time stop, AND he also mentioned about unable to stop physical phenomenon, why is he able to teleport? because if it only stops a person's time perspective, their relative mechs SHOULD be moving, and rolo would be in no way, seemingly teleporting to them. code geass, those that watched season1, i believe we've all had the "wow" moments and all, season2, sigh. unless they step up and stop cramming out those rediculous plot holes, this is getting old really fast. Added on April 30, 2008, 9:21 am QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 29 2008, 03:22 AM) I already said it in previous post. Rollo's Knightmare piloting skills >>>> anyone else. It has NOTHING to do with his geass. He just can pilot it faster than anyone else candepends. A person may fall down after he was shot because the mind shuts down because of the pain, but when there is no pain in the beginning as the mind is already shut down? And besides, he is still not dead yet when the Geass was turned off. It will took a while for a person to die even if he was headshot. thus in theory, the mind jumpstarted after the geass, founds out the body is FUBAR and shuts down mind/body part i have no say in that as it is entirely possible to not die even with a head shot. in fact, there are medical cases of people SURVIVING after a head shot where the bullet is extracted from the brain and the patient living.as wolf mentioned, rolo's skills aside, it still does not justify him TELEPORTING, and suddenly became UNTRACEBLE from radar. unless somehow they explained in later episodes that the vincent has cloak/radar jamming technology Added on April 30, 2008, 9:23 am QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Apr 29 2008, 10:52 AM) Added on April 30, 2008, 9:25 am QUOTE(redeye84 @ Apr 29 2008, 12:14 PM) I though Rollo Knightmare can do somesort of teleportation as demo in the second episode. Where it can sneak past Kallen and That dude and head straight to Lelouch. and he doesnt teleport with an incoming sniper rocket to his face? durrr...Added on April 30, 2008, 9:29 am QUOTE(wolfx @ Apr 29 2008, 04:17 PM) CQB.... there's no 150 yards unless you're a sniper outside the building. And don't worry, they are all trained to aim your head and put 3 rounds into it instantly if you are deemed armed and dangerous. And hostage situation no snipers? Yeah right. Then they fail as a special forces. lol fuzetsu now? way to go shana But anyway that's not the point. Back to Code Geass, the point is if you shoot a guy if assumingly only his mind stopped....he's sure to at least suffer some blowback from the gun if he's not dead since Rollo's geass does not affect physical phenomenon. So that means.... 1.) bullets work in the fuzetsu.... 2.) bullets have kinetic energy and when they hit the target, the target should stagger. 3.) target should keel over and die if killed even in the geass as his brain is no longer alive. 4.) If the stupid clock in the secret base still works, there's no reason why the radar doesn't work.

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 30 2008, 10:04 AM) I don't mind really. I watch this not because of the reality, just for the Lelouch mindf*** and Karen's fanservice. Heck, many animes are not realistic. Look at Toshokan sensou. Some ppl said it's not logical (points at stormy) but many ppl like it including me. for me it depends on the genre/type of the anime, for something like say, sayonara zetsubou sensei, definitely logics and realism wouldnt fit in at all. or maybe the likes of .hack sign/roots per say. but geass would be something in a more serious manner, which to me would demand a more serious tone and thus require more realism.=edit= just to clarify said logics or realism can mean differently based on one's definitions. my personal definition is that, for example, if rolo's geass is to stop a person's mind, keep it that way. and not plot hole it here and there. realism/logics that is predefined within said anime.

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 30 2008, 02:01 PM) and last i checked, gundam never really had a whole lot of unlogical occurance. at least from double 00 anyways.the only thing that i could really point out is lockon's suit being torn a little and somehow it got patched up and he managed to go into space with it. do correct me on this if you manage to notice more of these. |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 30 2008, 03:06 PM) fair enough. seed was too much of a disaster to even bother remembering anyways. "hay guise, i lived through a nuke explosion unharmed, i r awesome right?!"thankfully the latest gundam 00 had nothing of that crap and imo was epic enough beginning till the end. which also could be why im a little prejudice against geass, as geass is like the next big thing after double 00, and double 00 had really set the bar really high for geass to handle. |

QUOTE(wolfx @ Apr 30 2008, 04:36 PM) Actually Geass was before 00. was referring to season2 actually, not relating this to season1's code geass. season1 isnt actually that bad, cept when it comes to season2, and all your showing is nothing new other than what is already shown in season1, minus the loopholes and crap with rolo, it really isnt gonna cut it.And i don't think 00 has surpassed geass. There were some dodgy bits in 00 including the sudden spam of MS and graham aker coming out of nowhere but meh. Now Geass has the random geass ability with loopholes. least the sudden spam of MS made sense as it was done by some traitor this "geass of random time related ability" from rolo doesnt at all. lol =edit= hell, season1 to me was actually pretty bad. having a billion years wait for the final episode, and ended up as a retarded cliffhanger. /shrug then another long wait for s2, just to endure some lame plot hole crap /sigh This post has been edited by Quazacolt: Apr 30 2008, 04:53 PM |
