I picked it up earlier today. I got the free bestbuy mini artbook bonus, got them to match circuit city's price of $37.99 and I used my $6 in mcdonald's bestbuy dollars. after my discounts and with tax, it costed me a total of $35. and damn.. with the graphic quality of this game, it must be the epitome of the PS2's capabilities.

Well, if it takes a least a few days to a week to just sail from one island to the next.. and some islands they spent multiple days on. but its so hard to tell how much time passes because some of their adventures take place so fast even tho they span many, many episodes. All of Skypiea took place in a matter of what, 2 days? even tho it lasted about one or two seasons worth of episodes. ; but the alabaster stuff.. hell, they had vivi on the crew for so long, that the newspapers kept reporting about the growing dissention of her country.. they must have had vivi on the ship for probably half a year to a year. heh, and once they got there, they must have been traveling that desert over the course of multiple days or even a week. they traveled all over an island the size of a country, so theres no way they could have accomplished that in a short time. hmmm... with coby's age back then, the way he is now, luffy's adventures... seeing as Luffy set sail in the bucket at what, 17? all in all, I'd guess hes been traveling at least 4 or 5 years, maybe more. Hes probably in his early twenties now.

I hope ussop doesn't leave the crew.. but I wonder whats going to happen with Garp there talking to him now.. will the straw hats be able to leave water seven without being attacked by the marines? the marines are still after robin, and they know her location.. but then again, maybe Garp and his crew are doing their visit secretivly without the knowledge of the marine headquarters and world government. I think they'll probably leave water 7 and have a couple misc. adventures before another major arc, just to let the anime get a bunch of filler in. You're starting some of the best episodes of One Piece.

You have to wonder why Garp isn't an Admiral yet.. I have a feeling theres more to this guy's story than what hes letting on.. he has got to be one of the most powerful men on the grand line if he himself was able to bring down Roger.. but hes only a vice admiral.. I'm pretty interested in Dragon now.. I think I'll go back to that roguetown episode where he showed up and did that big energy blast attack that fucked over all the marines and gave the straw hat pirates the chance to escape. I remember he said something.. and I think Smoker overheard it.. maybe if we re-watch it (or re-read what he said in the manga), it would make more sense now.

So, if Shanks is one of the four emperors and the three main powers in the world include the World Government, the Shichibukai, and the Four Emperors, wouldn't that mean that Hawkeye and Shanks are on opposing forces? I guess thats why Shank's men were on edge when Hawkeye showed up to talk to him (way back in the series, right after Hawkeye's encounter with Luffy and Zoro). Based on the interactions and non teamwork of the Shichibukai, I don't think the four emporers work together either.. If anything, I bet they each rule over different sections of the latter half of the grand line.

The last episode ended well. I really like how the chief sat with gaida.. even if he didn't say a word, the action itself showed the emotion..

I didn't pre-order it, but I did see it advertised in circuit city's ad for $37. I'll probably pick it up tuesday for that price.

I love that sig. bitch... >.<

gungrave is one of my all time favorites. amazing anime.

I'm finally reading through our collection of Naruto manga and I just finished the last couple chapters of this fight. Holy shit. Sasori was bad ass. I wonder if kankoro will ever get an armor styled puppet.. for those of you that have read the manga up to that point, what do you think would have happened if Kakashi and Naruto fought Sasori instead?

This episode was amazing. I loved the battle and escape from new caprica. I am just so glad that they did not devote the entire season to cylon occupation. and Saul.. damn. I didn't think he'd be able to do it. I'm really interested in how the season it going to continue and what roles everyone will be playing now. i wonder if starbuck and apollo will go back to viper piloting.. and I never liked adama's mustache, but as soon as he shaved it off I realized I got used to it. X'D i'm still glad its gone tho. that was friggin awesome!

ms paint? or something else? I think the third one is the best. the font and text positition is good.

yeah.. its like cannibalism. X'D

Welcome mist/joe!

Did anyone else catch it near the end of last fridays episode.. D was looking at Helo kinda like... and he said something to her about looking after their kid? wtf?

*throws sugar at the new longnamed person whom I shall refer to as revo*

Welcome!

I'm reading The Vampire Lestat. Its much better than interview with a vampire and the plot actually seems to be going somewhere. but the way lestat describes a vampires love for things is a bit freaky.

Nice. ^_~ an extra 70gb would be pretty good, but I figure I got a good deal considering I'd have to pay shipping and then buy an external enclosure and pay for it's shipping too.. for the extra price it'd be worth it tho. I'll probably buy one of those and a seperate external case next time. But for now, I picked up my external today at bestbuy and they must have been out of the one I ordered because they upgraded me to the premium version at no extra cost: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7643071&st=hard+drive&lp=3&type=product&cp=4&id=1134698030480 It has a color wheel on the front indicating how full the drive is. X'D and its got some misc. software package with it too.

I just bought a new external hard drive today. I couldn't stop myself from hitting that 'add to cart' button when I saw 250GB for $100. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=NXOFKTTRMIOYNKC4D3FFAFI?skuId=7969585&st=hard+drive&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1153997294349

excellent choice with bag of bones. If you can get your hands on "It" you won't regret it.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get my windows computers to access my linux box. I have no problem whatsoever with any of the computers seeing each other, but whenever I try to access a shared folder on the lunix computer it always pops up a password prompt for me and I don't know how to set that password or take it off. ; btw, I wish they'd setup more auto install programs for linux like there is for windows. I'm going to try setting up mplayer later but the list of commands I have to put in/compile it seems like alot of work for just setting up a single program. I wish I could just double click a downloaded file and be done with it. That linspire OS might have something like that already.. I know mac's OS is pretty straight forward too. *has a headache with codes* I did that once. I had windows 98 on a computer and then installed mandrake on it with dual boot.. within a couple days mandrake mysteriously no longer worked. I think windows had something to do with it.

sweet jesus. I can't believe the Merry is gone. I cried reading chapter 430.
