Bleh karma. Tell you what. Everyone vote me as an Evil Priest so I'm on one star.

I really do not know which people keep on voting on this, but some flaming muppeteer actually voted me good karma. Oh well.

Talking about karma, talking about karma, talking about karma. Blah, blah, blah. Now let's see if any of you actually can give me a bad rating.

AGE? HOW OLD ARE WE? in General

I made it to year 8.

My first primary school was great. It was in Hackney, London. According to the league tables, it was supposed to be the worst school around, but I learnt more in the three and a half years there than I am ever likely to.

Then we moved to a dead-end backwater town in the middle of nowhere. No local amenities except for pubs and take-aways. The defintition of a commuter town.

But I could hack that. Went to a school (three tier system here. So that's a first school) and left just before Spring term in year 3. Point being, I wasn't learning anything that I didn't know.

Went to a different first school. Loved it. Actually learning again and didn't get treated like a little idiotic child. Stayed until end of year (when you have to move up to a middle school).

Went to the local middle school. It was a P.E. heavy regime. I, at that time, was not a P.E. person. Also after three months I still couldn't find the dang library. Left.

Went to an actual primary school. Once again was learning and not being treated like a five-year-old. Enjoyed it and stayed to the end of year 6, when I moved on to a secondary.

And this is where the tale becomes convoluted. I quite enjoyed the first year. I got on with everyone pretty well. Sure, I wasn't learning as much as I'd like in certain subjects and was doing too many subjects that I have difficulty with (being quite dyspraxic). But it was okay.

Second year, our head of year became our English teacher, causing some... "artistic differences". Point and case, she didn't like me. I didn't like the way she tried to get everyone to eat out of her hand.

Handed in some joke essays (ironically all getting good marks), started a mini-war and generally got aggrieved. Ended up with far too much revision, far too many people treating me like a child and far, far too many repetitious eej's.

That went on for two terms. Along with my home life being a bit turbulent, it was quite enough to manage a measure of insanity, not to mention sudden mood changes.

At the time I really couldn't see any way to win. It was the best school in the area and a drop in the standard of teaching would have annoyed me even more. Eventually found out about home education and really have never even thought about looking back.

Fun fun fun.

I loved that! That was great! Everytime it came on you could guarantee I'd be watching it singing along to the theme tune!

Though that's an interesting point you raise re: Astro Boy. I never saw the original 50's cartoon, but there is a new cartoon on kid's tv nowadays that is called Astro Boy. It is however, definately newish.

Bah, school.

Got out of that one soon after it drove me insane. And occaisionally inane. But that is a by-the-by. Home education. Certainly the way to go.

I may be young. I may not have been to as many places or seen as many faces as some. But I have the wisdom necessary to be a cruel, cold-heared cynic if the need arose.

I have seen far too many people in distress that you just can't help and too many lives crash and burn. It's not pretty and it's just no fun.

I looked at the world with logic and all I got was the same answer. I am here in my mold. I can be a million different people from one day to the next, I can change my mold.

I'd like to be an idiot again, because this is just no fun.

Bleh, feh, meh. I realise the intentional take-off. They were just the right words, s'all.

Actually, a thought. Jeff wins.

Think about it. He's personified in the game. He can re-write it at will. He can change it so that every party that is training up to come and kill him suddenly meets an army of alien beasts and have suddenly found that their weapons have turned into sticks, they are unable to cast spells and fleeing not only doesn't work, but causes 999 damage.

Sure, the traders might make an alliance with the random events, but when you can only be reached by putting an esoteric object on some unlikely spot, and you can turn everything and one into rice pudding, who's going to stop you?

Astro Boy? Yeah we get that over here. I have never managed to sit through more than five minutes of it without looking for something to throw.

Bottom line, not a big fan of it.

I vaguely remember Johnny Quest, but that would have been when I was about yea high:

Literally. It's not been shown over here for years.

Also Top Cat, The Herbs (gotta love Parsley the Lion) and *Dum-dum-deeeerrr* BAGPUSS! were pretty good (guess which one I liked best). And the earlier Wacky Races were pretty good too.

- Once again proving stupidity, or at least an unhealthy love for vintage kid's programmes, your resident idiot, FBM.

Ah, it was already agreed that it wasn't a CoC violation I think. 'Sides, how's (s)he supposed to know?

Also, that's a point, they've started G3, and on all the other SW games, by now they all had their own forums up. It might be an idea, to save the other fora from travesty. Just a thought but still.

Age is no more than a chonological measure designed to tell people no without saying it.

Whether skater, towny, goth, weirds, norms, realie or whatever on earth you are considered to be by yourself or others, it is how you play the part, not the age nor part you play that matters.

Point being, as I said, age is relative. A pointless measure. You may live to 100, but never live a day in your life nor achieve anything. You may live to 20, but actually do something worthwhile and be satisfied.

I know which one I'd choose.

Okay, it may have been obvious to all that some mention of Alorael would come up in a topic on sigs. I'm surprised that it wasn't more obvious that a bandwagon would be started.

Started it has.

Bleh, stupidity abounds always. May you never find a live turtle in your soup.

Well, if we're going to go vintage cartoons, how about Superted? With his amazing secret word, Ted.

Or even animated cartoons like Trap Door and the Magic Roundabout?

Maybe even the original styles of He-Man and Scooby-Doo (after they started making spin-offs with only Scoob and Shaggy and introduced Scrappy it really went downhill).

Y'know at one point it was almost encouraged to have sigs that length.

Now however it is generally a capital crime. Sooo: may you eternally locate live turtles in your soup. Snapping ones...

An A4 that carried on immediately from the E3/A3 storyline would be a travesty of nature. A far distant future, or prequel could work. Only just.

An N2 however would be the most versatile, having good sequel potential, and prequel potential for that matter.

As for a crossover, that would be even worse than a directly derived A4.

Personally I preferred Thundercats, Dangermouse and Count Duckula as far as my campaign to bring back quality cartoons. But if you insist, I'll add that to the list.

In the sense of fans' hearts, A4 is alot more believable than N2. However, jusdging the information, the wording and the actual sequel potenial, I would say it's N2.
