Quote by Milkiyohmm..I have some suggestions for the review options. Shouldn't there be a review preview button? It gets annoying having to update to see what you are actually typing (consider the puny box for you to type- scrolling doesn't help either as you miss the upper parts). The pics also disappear everytime I edit it and I kept having to upload them again.

ok..I am done with the review..I think.

I always compose my reviews in a separate editor (TextEdit for Macs, Notepad for Windows if you must), which gives me much more breathing space to look at my content. Then, like Jak suggests, simply copy-and-paste the content into the respective boxes. This way you always have a backup if things go pear-shaped and you lose a lot of work and effort. I'd also suggest avoid the likes of Word or OpenOffice (or similar). They always bundle in extra crap formatting, particularly Word with its "smart quotes" and replace as you type features, that do not translate well into the MT environment.

P.S. You'll notice I've updated the staff roster to add our newest member - so its official.

Ever since the creation of my first review I've been wanting that, too. And I think the same goes for all of us.

I use my guestbook to preview each section of my review. Type it in notepad first then copy-paste to my guestbook, hit preview then paste it in the review submission form.

And btw, welcome to the group.

Oh dear, it looks like you've had a bad run of it. Its times like these you need a Mac - no viruses, spyware or other such issues. I'm speaking from experience here where my household is a Windows-free zone and the computers outnumber the occupant by 3:1.

Mac are teh futures!

Quote by shoujoboyWell look what goes on while I'm away. As Jak knows, my computer got a bad case of the AIDS (read as Awola6 and Psyme), my cell phone croaks and I get sick. Good luck all around. So I guess I'll start addressing the issues.

Quote by shoujoboy1. I still say our page should have a dog eating an ice cream cone as the picture.

Maybe in your wildest delusional fantasies... If we're wanting to attract new blood into the group the notion of a dog eating an ice cream will probably get anyone asking "what drugs are we on?"

Quote by shoujoboy3. New member eh? Pretty good effort but needs a little bit of molding. Probably going to be a good one to work with... assuming Jak doesn't lay down the Hammer of God and say no.

Agreed, the prospect shows potential. Hopefully they take our comments/criticism on board and isn't scared off.

1. I still say our page should have a dog eating an ice cream cone as the picture.
2. Don't expect a review from me. I told you I was looking at at least 70 hours of game time before I finished. Trust me, I play a lot of games but not 70 hours in a week.
3. New member eh? Pretty good effort but needs a little bit of molding. Probably going to be a good one to work with... assuming Jak doesn't lay down the Hammer of God and say no.
4. MapleRose, I've already told you, I'm not one for battles of futility. Saying I'm better than Mwu is going to be an impossibility. Yet, you want me to think them up still? That leads me to one of two conclusions. 1. We are to the point where we are playing "lets ridicule sho and see how much of an ass he can make himself out to be" or 2. You are geniunely intrigued by what Sho brings to the table. If it's the former then let's call the joke complete and I will trot off dejected. If it's the latter, let us quit the banter in relation to this subject in the MT Review guestbook and take this elsewhere. If that last line made you laugh, then I'm probably already screwed.

That is all.

Quote by Milkiyoeh?

Quote by MapleRoseIf I go MIA for the next week, it's not because I've run away (or maybe it is), I'm going on vacation next week. see ya

I just got back from vacation... I mean official business and it was... great.

Quote:
I expect to see a review from each of you when I get back.

And what should we expect from you in return?

Quote: p.s. there's someone new who wants to join the group, check the member moderating thingy

I've checked Milkiyo out and I suggest we ask him/her to submit a review first before accepting him/her to the group. The last one that he/she submitted was a year or so ago.

If I go MIA for the next week, it's not because I've run away (or maybe it is), I'm going on vacation next week. see ya

meanwhile, sho, think up of some more interesting arguments.

I expect to see a review from each of you when I get back.

Quote by MapleRoseI need to get away from here soon, I'm receiving bad influence.

I'd go emo if you left us again. :( I'm too street for that but it could happen...

Quote: @jak: there there, you should learn to hop on the bandwagon too XD I actually would like to see your vectors of actual people.

I'd love to post my vectors here but I don't think it fits in the gallery. Lame excuse... I know...

Quote by davidh01I'll have to admit, I'm at a loss about a new picture for our background. Would you be horribly disappointed if I said the one we've currently got is appropriate for what we do? Unless someone can find a picture of a generic anime babe sitting in front of a TV with anime on it, with notepad in hand scribbling furiously. Lame, I know.

I might just have something like that...

Anyways, 'bout the page graphics and all... Come on, Maple... I know you got some nice hook-ups with plenty of peeps havin' that colored name and all.

I did warn you that "Be advised that I am very very biased and probably will not listen to reason."

Quote: I have him beat in the one thing that really matters. I am flesh and blood. Though your fangirlish instincts may convince you otherwise, that is the truth. No matter his portrayal on that show, he is but a fictional creation of someone in Japan. Wish how you may, your love for Mwu shall ALWAYS be unrequited.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. I'm not asking or hoping for him to return my "love" (it's more of an obsession than love... the two are different) in any way. I was just disappointed that you didn't give a more amusing answer...

I once had this history teacher, terribly racist man, who would put those ugly red X's on so many papers... of the white kids. Thinking our answers were right, we would ask "why did you mark this wrong?" His answer was, "it's right... but it's not right enough to be counted right... so it's wrong". Essentially that is what we have here; a losing battle no matter the effort. Well I can tell you this my dear MapleRose... I have him beat in the one thing that really matters. I am flesh and blood. Though your fangirlish instincts may convince you otherwise, that is the truth. No matter his portrayal on that show, he is but a fictional creation of someone in Japan. Wish how you may, your love for Mwu shall ALWAYS be unrequited.

What other option did I have besides going for broke? There was no way in hell I was going to be able to go toe to toe with her obsession. All or nothing... probably nothing. I'll go back to my corner now.

LOL@ Sho's Top 5 Rejections by Women XD

Oh come on sho, that was lame, I'm not convinced in the slightest. You can do better than that.

Quote: 1. Not a mobile armor ace due to lack of existance of mobile armor.
2. Never met Rau Le Crueset, but if I did I'd hate him cause his name sounds French.

Er, how is that better than Mwu? and for the record, I like Rau

Quote: 3. Isn't the nickname "shoujoboy" much cooler than "Hawk of Endymion"

No.

You're simply comparing so saying how you're similar to Mwu, not how you're better. I'm disappointed sho... or maybe it's just because you're not better than Mwu and can't think of anything =P

@dave: it's not that I don't like this picture, it suits our purpose well, it's just that we had it for almost a year and I want to change things up a bit XD Finding a similar picture would work.

merged: 04-24-2008 ~ 11:30pm
found a few photos as a possible idea:
- sho writing in his diary about women and rejection
- jak staring at a blank page
- a random scribble
- and since nobody writes with pen and paper anymore, a keyboard

I need to get away from here soon, I'm receiving bad influence.

Oh yeah, I also eat from the microwave - its one of my two main food groups (along with the ubiquitous Aussie BBQ)

Quote by MapleRoseIs this still the MT Review guestbook? Or is it shoujoboy's guestbook? And is it just us 4 talking now? Where are the rest of the group? I bet jak, dave, and sho scared them off. Dunno why I'm still sticking around with you boys...

So anyway, I'm looking for a new picture for a new layout. But I kinda don't trust sho or jak when it comes to finding pictures... it's all up to you dave, or whoever else is still brave enough to come here.

At least its already 4... back then it was just 2. And we didn't scare them off. I'm too cool to be feared.

What!? Finding pictures? God I'm a way better Digital Artist than you... It just so happens vector is the "IN" thing nowadays and the only thing I vector good is people... actual people, which is by far harder than line arts or anime screenies.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I that sounded a little mad, I'm just a frustrated artist desperate for some loving.

Quote by MapleRose Tell you what Sho, just to keep your ego going and keep us/me entertained, if you can convince me that you're better than Mwu la Flaga from Gundam SEED (I know you've watched GS, so if you don't remember who that is, you lose by default), I might listen to what you have to say (btw, don't drag that ugly beast called Destiny in your arguments, please, or I might have to kill you). Be advised that I am very very biased and probably will not listen to reason.

Sho's Top 5 Rejections by Women:

5. Wait a minute, I thought you were gay.
4. I don't want a relationship right now.
3. I don't want to ruin the friendship.
2. I want somebody just like you, just not you.
1. If you can convince me that you're better than Mwu la Flaga I might listen to what you say.

Well then I guess my lay-up for the basket just got swatted into first row seating. So to even catch ones attention, I'd have to show up someone they are already obsessed with. Yes, I know this Mwu la Flaga, but for ease of making a point...

Quote by Freaking Wikipedia Mu is a veteran mobile armor ace, and a longtime rival of ZAFT officer Rau Le Creuset, with whom he demonstrates a strange extrasensory connection. He is famous in many parts of the Cosmic Era universe as the "Hawk of Endymion" for destroying five ZGMF-1017 GINN mobile suits with his TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero mobile armor at the Battle of Endymion Crater, a feat previously considered impossible.[2][1] The Battle of Endymion Crater also leaves him as the only remaining OMNI pilot capable of handling the Moebius Zero, the wire-guided gunbarrels of which require a high degree of spatial awareness not commonly possessed by Naturals. A laid-back man with a thick-skinned attitude toward war, Mu is casually boastful of his preternatural abilities, sometimes calling himself "the man who can make the impossible possible."

ME: 1. Not a mobile armor ace due to lack of existance of mobile armor.
2. Never met Rau Le Crueset, but if I did I'd hate him cause his name sounds French.
3. Isn't the nickname "shoujoboy" much cooler than "Hawk of Endymion"
4. Laid-back man
5. Thick-skinned attitude towards war (Veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom... I uhh did paperwork)
6. The man who can make the impossible possible. Case in point, you've kept the conversation up this long when no one thought that would happen.

I guess I'm screwed not being able to take part in an interstellar war. I suppose we can't all be winners.

Quote by shoHaven't the movies taught you anything... the lower class guy is always awesome and the woman remembers what it was like to not have to worry about classes, when it was all about the friendship and love. I know you've seen those movies. They always end in happiness and usually a sweet dancing scene. Twist that picture around in your head and then get back to me... I'm waiting.

Yes I've seen those movies, and yes I hated those movies because they're always so cheesy and stupid.

What's this!? You two are having a conversation... David, come look! Its MapleRose and Shoujoboy...

Sho eats from a microwave?

Quote by MapleRoseIt's only because of the colour of my name isn't it.

No, but I think your problem with me is the color of mine. We can't be mixing the classes can we? You're afraid of what your parents and friends will think. I can hear it now... "honey, you can't be associating yourself with lowly members. He probably shops at Wal-Mart and eats food from a microwave. We are a special pedigree and they... just aren't".

Quote by shoujoboyDon't be jealous everybody else, I'll talk to you too, it's just you don't get as much attention as MapleRose.

Quote by MapleRoseHmm, you sure you really want to be stopped? 'cause I can with one click of a button using my super mod powers :D

Only if it's you...

I know you wouldn't do that though. You've kept the conversation up this long, so I can tell you can't get enough of the Sho Show (oh so damned clever). Don't worry about keeping up this facade, just send a PM and we can talk elsewhere...

Don't be jealous everybody else, I'll talk to you too, it's just you don't get as much attention as MapleRose.

Quote: It's always "thought about" and "was going to" with you isn't it? Like you are sitting around saying to yourself "I'm gonna write a review!" and then you lift your finger and go "meh, nevermind". Tsk tsk I say to you.

Yup pretty much. Say tsk tsk all you want, but it ain't gonna motivate me any.

Quote: Ok somebody stop me already...

Quote by MapleRoseI thought about reviewing Sola, but since you reviewed it, I don't feel as compelled to, even though I don't agree with your review XD (but who knows, I marathoned it in 2 days, so I probably wasn't paying much attention).

Quote: Meh, Club Sho doesn't sound all that interesting, it's probably full of Americans thinking they're the king of the world and sharing their ignorance of the rest of the world with each other. I'll pass =P

You know judging a whole country of people like that sounds awfully familiar. I mean what group of people can judge an entire country based on the actions of only a few? You see where I'm going with this? You have the heart of an American, you just deny it... EMBRACE IT! Well if you are ever looking at getting into this country legally, just give me a call *wink*.

Ok somebody stop me already...

Yeah, I think maybe it's better if I edit my review to include the second season since it's somewhat more of the same (like Aria, which I probably would review, eventually )
