Adventure Quest

2008-05-10T16:41:00.004+08:00

AdventureQuest is an online single-player RPG developed by Artix Entertainment in 2002 and released on October 15 of that year. It is implemented in Flash and uses vector graphics, some of which are animated. The game follows the adventures of a character tied with the town of Battleon (the player) as he or she explores the game world while engaging in combat with various enemies. As of March 31, 2008, aq.battleon.com, the game's hosting website, has an Alexa rating of 1,029. AdventureQuest and all related games are set within the world of Lore, formerly a tongue-in-cheek reference to the game's original title, Lands of Rising Evil, which has since been explained to refer to Lorithia, a name of the goddess of creation in the game's storyline.

Guardianship, a measure introduced on February 22, 2003 to manage the costs of running the game, added a one-time fee-based character upgrade service. Ownership of the game transfered to the newly-formed Artix Entertainment in 2004, and a server population cap was added for non-Guardian players in May of that year. In June 2004, players of AdventureQuest reached 1 million in number.

By June 2005, the game had 5 million users, an amount which rapidly grew to 40 million by September 2007. As AdventureQuest grew, Artix Entertainment added new methods to pay for in-game content, such as X-Guardianship (in October 2005) and purchasable Z-Tokens (in June 2006), and released other related games, such as DragonFable (on July 26, 2005), MechQuest, ArchKnight and ZardWars.

Gameplay

Much of AdventureQuest's game play revolves around fighting monsters. On the players turn they may attack, equip a weapon shield or armor, drink a potion, cast a spell, call a pet or equip a miscellaneous item. Changing armor, weapon or shield does not use up a turn but equipping certain items, changing pets or drinking a potion does. On an opponents's turn it may attack, though some monsters have special attacks such as healing. Pack monsters and a few other monsters can summon reinforcements, which doesn't take up a turn.

As players defeat monsters, they gain Experience Points (XP), gold, and possibly Z-tokens. The XP is used for leveling up your character for more Mana, Health, etc. The gold is used for buying stronger items. Z-Tokens, not always dropped by monsters, can be used to buy special weapons from Valencia or to buy a house.

Battle

The most basic fights are started through random encounters (by clicking the "Battle Monsters" button), and after winning such fights, characters return to Battleon and can be fully healed by an NPC.

Several things can affect the outcome of a battle. Both characters and monsters have a "defense modifier" for each of the eight elements; a higher defense modifier means an attack of that element does more damage. There is also a defense modifier for each of the three methods of attacks: melee, ranged and magic; a lower number means greater vulnerability to that element of attack. Players can change their character's weapon, shield and armor according to the monster's defense modifiers. Also, some of the stronger bosses have defence modifiers to the Void element. There are a few other "Hidden" elements that are not shown, but still exist (Confirmed by the KO, the game's balancing team. Void is an example of such a hidden element.)

Six stats affect the amount of damage inflicted and taken, as well as the probability of an attack being resisted. In addition, pets and guests assist the character in doing extra damage. Strategic use of spells and items will give a character an advantage in combat. The combat system also uses luck as you attack a random number based on your weapon and stats.

When a battle begins, either the player or the monster goes first mostly depending on whoever has the more Luck. When it is the monsters turn, they do their own attack that can inflict different damage and sometimes effect the player's own defenses. The player's turn then would come if it hasn't already. The player could then equip the appropriate armor, shield, etc. The battle would then go on with consecutive Monster then Player turns. The player can have numerous types of attacks depending on what armor is used or if they decide to use their magic attacks. These Magic attacks cost a player MP (Mana Points which is the base of all magic in AQ). Sometimes, the attacks could also vary on what weapon is used. The weapon, depending on what one you are using, can sometimes release its Special attack that does not cost the player MP or HP. The battle would then continue until a monster's HP drops below zero or if the players drops to zero. If the monster dies, the character is awarded with experience and gold. Sometimes, they will also be rewarded with Z-Tokens. If a monster is a pack type (Junior Zard Pack, Orc Horde, Drakel War Party, etc.), sometimes they may summon reinforcements until they run out. Most pack monsters have a pre-determined amount of reinforcements, and will not die until all of them are killed. If a character's HP drops below zero, the character dies, and has to speak to Death to return to town without any penalties. The death is saved in the game's database.

Players may also inflict status effects on monsters such as Freezing and Paralysis using different weapons and other methods with a random chance of inflicting the effects

Dragon Fable (Online Game)

2008-05-10T16:09:00.003+08:00

DragonFable is a free, online, browser-based, single-player RPG developed by Artix Entertainment. Created in July 2005, the game went into beta testing on November 21, and on June 10, 2006, the game was officially released. It is implemented in Adobe Flash and uses vector graphics, some of which are animated. The storyline to the game sets DragonFable as a prequel to the storyline of AdventureQuest and a sequel to that of MechQuest, each of which are also games from Artix Entertainment. DragonFable receives weekly updates with the introduction of new quests, monsters and weapons.

Each player must create an account, which can have up to three playable characters for non-paying players or up to six characters for Dragon Amulet holders (paying players). Each character is associated with a base class and has an upgradeable combat level and six trainable stats. The game allows players to engage in turn-based combat against monsters and villains to accumulate experience points, gold, and equipment. Players may use a character's gold to purchase additional equipment and pets in the game to aid in combat. Along with an ever-expanding world featuring regular quests, DragonFable also features temporary special events, such as holidays and wars.

Gameplay

In DragonFable players are able to walk around and explore a 2D world. The game is updated weekly with new quests, items, and areas. Players may also interact and team-up with NPCs in different towns and have them help in battle with special abilities.

Also, players may engage in PvP ("Player Versus Player") battles at an in-game arena called Aeris Battlespire. In these battles, contrary to its name, players do not actually compete against other real-world players who may also be online at that moment. Instead, the player's character battles against an AI-controlled opponent, whose configuration (name, appearance, and statistics) is based upon the saved profile of another player's character.

DragonFable has many unique monsters that may be encountered, as well as several recurring antagonists (enemies), such as Drakath, Sepulchure and Xan. Each enemy has his or her own goals and ambitions that intertwine with and form the game's storyline. There are many side quests that players can take to assist NPCs, gain experience points, or find rare items.

Battle

Combat in DragonFable uses a simple turn-based battle system with option commands like "attack" which lets warriors do a simple slash, rogues do two quick cuts with their daggers, and mages cast a spell using the element of the weapon they are currently wielding. There currently is no "flee" option, except in the special class ChickenCow Lord, and enemies currently cannot run away which renders the abilities "trip", "tangle", and "root" (all of which prevent enemies from escaping) currently useless.

Players try to get their opponent's health points (HP) down to zero before their opponents do the same to them. Some monsters have regenerative abilities making them more challenging to kill. Players can also use potions to restore HP or MP (mana points), or use an unlockable defensive ability which gives an 80% chance to block,dodge or parry their opponents' attacks. Another unlockable option gives the players a chance to immobilize the opponent. Some opponents, however, have a chance of resisting the attack.

About "Portgas D. Ace"

2008-05-06T11:28:00.003+08:00

Portgas D. Ace is the older brother of Monkey D. Luffy.Ace left his hometown 3 years before Luffy when he was already very strong and skilled. He was able to beat his brother Luffy in every fight they had, despite Luffy having the power of a Devil Fruit already. He was also trained by Garp, who is responsible for training Luffy to his current level of power. Another note of Ace's strength was his ability to take Blackbeard's punches (without resorting to his Devil Fruit powers) and being able to immediately retaliate, as noted by Van Auger, making his status as a Whitebeard Pirates commander well-deserved. He also carries a knife which he used once on a seaman who was offending Whitebeard in the mini-chapter.

Ace has eaten the Devil Fruit Mera Mera no Mi , a Logia or elemental type fruit, giving him pyrokinetic abilities and his reputation as "Fire Fist Ace" . Ace also displays his immense power by destroying a handful of Baroque Works ships with ease. For some reason, Ace does not seem to mind his inability to swim, despite the risk that destroying the Billions' ships could have left him in the ocean. Also when he turned up on Drum Island, that day no snow fell at all on the island.

Ace was also later given a mini-arc in the chapter titles of the manga where, after parting ways with Buggy's crew, he infiltrates a Marine ship to deliver a letter to the parents of a milk maiden who saved his life.

Despite all the efforts from Shanks to convince Whitebeard to recall Ace, Ace meets up with Blackbeard and engages him in battle.Blackbeard triumphs and presumably turns the defeated Ace over to the government. Ace was sent to the worst prison in the One Piece World, Impel Down.

Although never directly finding out what happened to Ace, Luffy discovered the truth in another way. After discovering about biblicards from pirate Lola the Proposer, he discovered that Ace's paper was the same. But as Luffy stared at it, he saw it burning, a sign that Ace's life-force is slowly fading away (what this means exactly is unknown).

Bleach

2008-05-04T17:34:00.003+08:00

Bleach is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tite Kubo that has appeared in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since August 2001.
Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student with the ability to see ghosts, and a Soul Reaper named Rukia Kuchiki. The early parts of the story focus mainly on thesecharacters. As events unfold, the story begins to delve deeper into the world of the gods of death.
The manga series has been adapted into an animated television series, two OVAs, two animated feature films, a rock musical, numerous video games, and a collectible card game. Compilation volumes of the manga have sold over 40 million copies in Japan, and have reached the top of manga sales charts in the United States. The manga received the Shogakukan Manga Award for its shonen title in 2005, and the anime has been nominated for several American Anime Awards.

The story opens with the sudden appearance of Rukia Kuchiki in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom. She is surprised at his ability to see her, but their resulting conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a "hollow", an evil spirit. After Rukia is severely wounded while trying to protect Ichigo, she intends to transfer half her powers to Ichigo, hoping to give him the opportunity to face the hollow on equal footing. Ichigo unintentionally absorbs almost all her powers instead, allowing him to defeat the hollow with ease.

The next day, Rukia appears in Ichigo's classroom as a transfer student. Much to his surprise, she appears to be a normal human. She theorizes that it was the unusual strength of Ichigo's spirit that caused him to absorb almost all her powers, thus leaving her stranded in the human world. Rukia has transferred herself into a gigai — an artificial human body — while waiting to recover her abilities. In the meantime, Ichigo must take over her job as a Soul Reaper, battling hollows and guiding lost souls to Soul Society.

Bleach Character

2008-05-04T17:15:00.003+08:00

All Bleach characters are "souls". Living humans contain souls within their bodies, while disembodied souls, or spirits, have a form composed of particles of spiritual energy called ectoplasm which mimics human anatomy but ages more slowly. This form encompasses all of the spirit's being; there is no distinction between spirit and body. There are a variety of different types of spirits in Bleach, each with a different visual theme and approach to combat.


Ichigo Kurosaki: The primary protagonist of Bleach, the orange haired high school junior Ichigo Kurosaki is forced to become a substitute Soul Reaper after unwittingly absorbing most of Rukia's powers. His cynical nature at first makes him ill-disposed towards the duty, but with the passage of time he comes to accept and welcome it, recognizing that even if he is not able to save everyone, he can at least use his skills to protect those close to him.

Rukia Kuchiki: Rukia Kuchiki is a sarcastic Soul Reaper who was sent on a hollow extermination patrol in Ichigo's hometown. Though her physical appearance is that of a teenage girl, in reality she is around 100 years old. Rukia is forced to transfer her power to Ichigo and assume a temporary lifestyle as a regular human. She registers at the local high school and takes up residence in Ichigo's closet, while teaching him how to be a substitute Soul Reaper in her place.

Orihime Inoue: Orihime Inoue is a long-time classmate of Ichigo, closely linked to him by mutual friend Tatsuki Arisawa. She is effectively an orphan, as she and her elder brother Sora ran away from their abusive home at a young age, and her brother later died. Though initially devoid of spiritual powers, she begins to develop spiritual awareness and later obtains one of the most powerful healing abilities in the Bleach universe, able to completely restore a body to its previous state regardless of how severely it is wounded.

Yasutora "Chad" Sado: Yasutora Sado, better known as Chad, is one of Ichigo's few friends at school. He is a biracial (Japanese/Mexican) student who towers over his classmates. Despite his imposing appearance he is quite meek, and refuses to fight unless it is for the sake of another. He does not have awareness of ghosts at first, but this changes when he witnesses a group of children being attacked by a hollow. He discovers a unique ability that strengthens and armors one of his arms, enabling him to fight hollows. He later develops the ability to shoot; energy from his armored arm.

Kisuke Urahara: A mysterious and cheery man characterized by his hat that shadows his eyes and the geta (wooden sandals) he wears, Kisuke Urahara runs the Urahara Shop, a candy store that also sells supernatural items to Soul Reapers. Despite his sanguine nature he is one of the most significant figures in the Bleach universe, and bears immense knowledge of the spiritual realms which he uses to mastermind the operations of the protagonists.

Uryū Ishida: Though on the surface he is nothing more than the solitary class genius, Uryū Ishida is actually a Quincy, descendant of a line of priest-like hollow-hunting archers. He bears a deep grudge against all Soul Reapers, including Ichigo, but comes to view Ichigo differently over time, eventually becoming an ally and friendly rival.

Renji Abarai: Renji Abarai is an elite Soul Reaper bearing the rank of 6th Division lieutenant, making him second in command of a sub-branch of the Soul Reaper armed forces. Although first introduced as a deadly enemy, he has conflicting loyalties between his duties and Rukia, with whom he grew up. A rash and driven man, he holds both a deep respect and animosity towards his immediate superior, 6th Division captain Byakuya Kuchiki.

Bleach Character Type

2008-05-04T17:08:00.001+08:00

Character types

Human: The humans of Bleach are much like the residents of modern Japan, and most cannot see or sense disembodied spirits in any way. Spirits can, however, inhabit artificial human bodies called gigai which are visible to ordinary humans. One in 50,000 humans is a medium with some awareness of nearby spirits, but only a third of these are able to see them clearly, and only the strongest of mediums are able to speak with or touch spirits. Certain unique humans naturally have both the power to sense and the strength to fight with spirits. Ordinary humans can gain the ability to interact with spirits by spending time around a large source of spirit energy.

Plus: Benign spirits in Bleach are known as pluses (wholes in the official English editions). A plus is the spirit of a person who has died. A chain, known as the Chain of Fate , protrudes from the chest and binds the plus to a location, object or person that they felt close to in life.The soul can move about freely if the chain is broken, but this also causes the chain to corrode.Normally, pluses are sent to Soul Society by Soul Reapers in a ritual called soul burial before this corrosion becomes significant. If the Chain of Fate is corroded entirely before a soul burial can be performed, a hole will form in the chest of the soul where the chain was once anchored. Such souls are driven mad and become evil spirits known as hollows.If the Chain of Fate is torn out deliberately, this also leads to spiritual degradation.

Soul Reaper: Soul Reapers, or shinigami as they are called in Japanese-language releases, are the psychopomps of Bleach. They are souls with inner spiritual power, recruited from the ranks of the residents and nobility of Soul Society. Like all spirits, they cannot be detected by normal humans. Soul Reapers use their zanpakuto, supernatural swords that are the manifestation of their owners' power, to perform soul burials on pluses.Soul Reapers also use zanpakutō and magic known as kido to fight their archrivals, the hollows. A group of Soul Reapers known as the vizard have obtained hollow powers, gaining removable masks and access to certain hollow abilities.

Hollow: The hollows are the major antagonists of Bleach. They are evil spirits who reside in Hueco Mundo but travel to the living world to feed on the souls of the living and dead alike. Like Soul Reapers, hollows are made of spiritual matter and cannot be detected by ordinary humans. While the majority of hollows can be overcome by the average Soul Reaper, there are some which surpass even the most elite Soul Reapers in strength. All normal hollows wear white masks, but a small group of hollows have broken them, becoming arrancar. By shattering their masks, these hollows regain the ability to reason, sometimes obtain a humanoid form, and gain access to Soul Reaper powers.

Quincy: The Quincy are a clan of spiritually aware humans who once fought against the hollows, using bows composed of spiritual energy to slay them.As opposed to Soul Reapers, Quincy absorb and channel energy from their surroundings to fight.Unlike the Soul Reaper's method of killing hollows which allows the hollow to enter Soul Society, the Quincy technique simply destroys the hollow's soul entirely.This method has the propensity to shatter the balance of the universe, because when souls are destroyed, the number of souls entering and leaving Soul Society cannot remain equal.This issue prompted the Soul Reapers to conduct a campaign to exterminate the Quincy about 200 years before the main storyline.At least two Quincy still remain.

Artificial soul: Artificial souls (also known as Modified Souls, or Mod Souls) are a type of soul mass-produced by the Soul Reapers.Issued in pill form, they are used to force Soul Reapers out of their gigai during protracted stays in the living world, and also to evict pluses that refuse to leave their bodies after death.They come with a pre-programmed personality that animates the host body until the owner returns.In addition to the mundane versions, a series of experimental souls authorized and created by Soul Reaper researchers exists.Known as modified souls, these were meant to hunt hollows by possessing soulless human bodies and supercharging a particular aspect of them (for example, strength or speed).The Soul Reapers decided to scrap the project due to the inhumanity of forcing dead bodies to fight, and ordered the destruction of all modified souls.Only one modified soul exists in the manga , but there are three more such characters in the anime.
Bount: Exclusive to the anime, the Bounts are a clan of human beings with high spiritual energy and special powers. They were accidentally created by Soul Reaper scientists looking for a way to create eternal life. Bounts consume the souls of human beings to survive; theoretically, a Bount could live forever by doing so. Although the Bounts have a strict rule to consume only the souls of the dead, the final group of Bounts chose to drain souls from living humans in order to become more powerful. Each Bount uses a "doll" in combat, a type of familiar possessing its own special abilities. Every doll is unique and is a manifestation of the user's power. If the doll is destroyed, its owner is destroyed as well.

about "one piece"

2008-05-03T09:44:00.002+08:00

"One Piece" that's one of all anime did the peoples like, One Piece manga is created by Eiichiro Oda or His Called Oda Sensei , Okay lets we start to tell about One Piece. One Piece focuses on a ragtag crew of heroic pirates called the Straw Hats, formed and led by Monkey D. Luffy.

In manga Luffy still fight with Gecko Moria in Thriller Bark,Thriller Bark is the world's largest ship from the anime and manga One Piece and is owned by Gecko Moria of the Shichibukai. At first glance, because of its size, Thriller Bark seems like an island. It is home to many victims of Moria, as well as revived dead created by Hogback. It is first seen in chapter 443 of the One Piece Manga. The general theme behind the place is one of a complete nightmare full of things from horror stories.

Thriller Bark was once an island in West Blue, that was somehow converted into a sailing vessel. The island in the center is connected with the outer hull by four colossal chains. The Island is ringed by a broken battlement. It is covered with a forest that is full of Zombie animals, and a large graveyard where the majority of the zombie soldiers sleep. At the center is tower/mast of the ship and several other buildings including Hogback's massive mansion. Inside the mansion is Hogback's laboratory where he creates the Zombies, as well as a room where inactive zombie generals sleep. Connecting the Mansion to the mast are two large bridges. The larger, upper bridge contains Perona's wonder garden which her room overlooks.

Zoro is a skilled swordsman, able to use one, two and three swords in varying attack styles, although he is most proficient with the fictional sword technique Santoryu (literally: three sword style), clutching his third sword in his mouth. Zoro is somehow able to speak with his sword held in his mouth; Eiichiro Oda has stated that it is his heart that allows him to do so.Though not a samurai, he maintains his own code of honor. His goal is to become the greatest swordsman in the world, by beating the current greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk.

As a child, Zoro trained in a dojo in Shimoshiki village. He defeated all of the adults of the dojo, but consistently lost to Kuina, the sensei's daughter. After two thousand and one victories against Zoro, Kuina confided in him. Her father told her that as a woman, she would naturally become weaker than Zoro and could never be a great sword fighter. Zoro became furious, telling Kuina that if he beat her as a result of her gender, he would be dishonored. The two children vow that one of them will become the world's strongest sword fighter. The next morning, Kuina dies falling down a set of stairs. Zoro asks her father for her katana, Wadō Ichimonji, and swears to become a swordsman so renowned that his name will be heard even in heaven. To fulfill his dream he must defeat Dracule "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk, the man currently regarded as the strongest sword fighter in the One Piece world. Zoro also displays several personality quirks, a trait common in One Piece characters. Zoro is extremely poor at understanding geographical directions and gets lost very easily. Zoro also sleeps a great deal, and has been known to sleep through important events. Zoro also likes to drink, and although he has an abnormally high alcohol tolerance, he claims that a true swordsman should never let himself get drunk. Zoro is one of the most popular One Piece characters, ranking second in the most recent Japanese fan poll.According to series creator Eiichiro Oda Zoro was originally intended to be a bodyguard of Buggy the Clown.

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege

2008-04-12T00:43:00.003+08:00

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege is an action adventure game developed and published by Capcom. It is the third game of the Onimusha series and was released for the PlayStation 2 on April 27, 2004. It was later ported to PC Windows on December 8, 2005.

Story

The game opens with Samanosuke Akechi (Takeshi Kaneshiro) destroying the monstrous Genma army in Japan 1582. It then jumps to modern-day Paris 2004, featuring Jacques Blanc (Jean Reno) riding on his motorcycle to help his friend Philippe. The Genma army then begins its invasion of Paris near the Arc de Triomphe.

The game returns to Samanosuke in feudal Japan fighting his way to Honno-ji Temple, which is on fire from a raging battle. Samanosuke battles and kills Ranmaru Mori (Joshua Keaton) and approaches Nobunaga Oda. However, before they can fight, a portal opens in the floor and Samanosuke is pulled through it.

Meanwhile, the French military is fighting several monsters from 1582, but the soldiers cannot hold them for long. Jacques arrives on the scene finding Philippe injured from the battle. Suddenly, Samanosuke appears from a portal in a Paris alley right where Jacques is fighting the Genma monsters. Jacques Blanc runs out of ammo just as he and Philippe are ambushed, but Samanosuke manages to rescue them. Samanosuke and Jacques meet but are unable to properly communicate.

The time portal reappears and pulls Jacques and Philippe through to Japan. Samanosuke makes his way towards the center of the hysteria, the Arc de Triomphe. Samanosuke first meets Michelle, Jacques' girlfriend, near the Arc and makes his way towards the roof. There he encounters Guildenstern and finds out he is actually over 400 years in the future in Paris. Samanosuke then fights and destroys Brainstern, a robotic creation.

Jacques Blanc and Philippe arrive in 16th century Japan. Unfortunately, Philippe dies of mortal wounds from the previous battle after the time warp. Jacques encounter a different Samanosuke in an alternate timeline on his way to Honnō-ji Temple. Both men realize that to return to their own time period, they must save the current time from destruction. The Samanosuke in 2004 Paris teams up with Michelle and Jacques son to save the city from destruction while Jacques and Samanosuke (not player controlled) struggle to fight Nobunaga in feudal Japan. The two men work together across time to solve puzzles and access new areas.

About Franky

2008-04-10T23:09:00.001+08:00

Franky is a cyborg who makes his first appearance in the city of Water 7 as the founder and leader of the Franky Family, a group of ship dismantlers and delinquents. His dream is to build a ship capable of sailing to the end of the Grand Line. He partially accomplished this when he constructed the Straw Hat pirates' second ship, the Thousand Sunny. He is currently sailing with the crew to completely fulfill his dream.

Franky (known originally as Cutty Flam) was born the son of a pirate in South Blue and crossed into the Grand Line when he was four years old. After being abandoned, he became the apprentice of the master shipwright Tom, who built Gol D. Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson. He and Iceburg helped Tom construct the sea train after Spandine, leader of CP5 at that time, brought charges against Tom in order to pressure him into surrendering the blueprints to the superweapon, Pluton. After completing the sea train, Tom refused to give up the blueprints, resulting in Spandine using Cutty Flam's fleet of warships to attack Water 7. In order to protect Cutty, Tom takes the blame for the attack and is sentenced to the Marine prison Impel Down. Cutty Flam tries to stop the sea train as it is taking Tom away, but is run over by the charging engine. Nearly dead, he awakens on a scrapped vessel and uses the nearby parts to create his cyborg body. Cutty Flam later returns to Water 7 under the name Franky, where he rounds up the lowlifes of the city to form the Franky Family. Franky has 'BF36' carved into his shoulders, indicating he is the thirty-sixth iteration of his Battle Franky line.Series creator Eiichiro Oda says Franky has a 'butt-butt-chin.

When asked why Franky is powered by cola, Oda simply replied"COLA IS GOOD".

Franky seems to be a reference to the hit 80's band, Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Many of the noises Franky makes in the show also appear in their hit song "Relax."

Powers and abilities

As a cyborg, Franky's artificial parts grant him incredible strength, as well as making him practically invulnerable to most frontal attacks. He built his cyborg body himself,making his back his only weak point, as he couldn't reach it during construction. His fighting style focuses on projectile attacks, including an extendable right arm and cannons in his left arm. Franky's body is powered by cola, which he stores in a refrigerator built into his stomach. His supply of cola can be refilled by either drinking cola or manually inserting bottles directly into his refrigerator. His physical strength was enough to easily break through Fukurou's tekkai technique, which gives the body the hardness of steel, while completely out of cola.

Franky is very talented in many forms of construction; aside from building the Straw Hat's Thousand Sunny, Franky is able to build a very stable bridge across a large gap in an instant, using only nearby debris (while also paying amazing attention to detail).

Franky's hair style and attitude are affected by the type of drink he uses for fuel, seen when Chopper accidentally hands him vegetable juice and tea. Franky's strength and weapons are much more powerful when he is fueled by cola, and some of his attacks can not be used without it.His hair acts as a kind of meter to the amount of cola in his stomach, being tall if he is full and sagging if empty.Franky's stomach compartment can hold up to three bottles or three litres of cola.

Burnout Dominator

2008-04-08T08:06:00.003+08:00

Burnout Dominator is a video game in the Burnout series. It was announced on December 5, 2006, only to be released for the PlayStation 2 and the PlayStation Portable. The game retains the core gameplay of the series, as players will race at top speeds through dozens of World Tour events testing "reckless skill-based" driving techniques. Currently, there are no plans for the versions for each platform to interact with each other.It is also the only Burnout game that was not developed by Criterion, and the first Burnout game in the series since Burnout 2 to not feature the Crash mode. At the time Dominator was being made, Criterion was busy working on Burnout Paradise and was wanting the reintroduce the mode in Burnout Paradise, after having it take a break in Dominator. Dominator is the first game in the series to include the metric system.

GamePlay

The main focus in Burnout Dominator is the return of Burnouts. Burnouts are the result of draining a complete boost meter without stopping. The boost meter in Burnout Dominator is primarily orange flames prior to a full boost meter, in which it turns into blue flames on full (known as Supercharge Boost). Driving dangerously whilst using supercharge boost will light up the arrows on the boost meter, and when they are all lit, you can obtain another Burnout when you completely drain the boost bar. The process can be continually repeated and is known as a Burnout Chain. Prior to Burnout Dominator, Burnouts were last seen in Burnout 2: Point of Impact.

Features removed from the previous game (Burnout Revenge) include Traffic Checking (the ability to ram into small traffic going in the same direction as you) and the game mode Traffic Attack, Crash Mode (a puzzle-orientated mode, in which your vehicle is driven into a junction full of traffic with the aim to cause the biggest amount of damage/money for damages possible), and Online Multiplayer.

The main single player mode known as the World Tour is split into 7 different series, based on the different classes of car that are in the game. The series are Classic, Factory, Tuned, Hot Rod, Super, Race Specials and Dominator.

Need for Speed : Carbon

2008-04-05T08:58:00.002+08:00

Need for Speed: Carbon, also known as NFS Carbon or NFSC is an Electronic Arts video game belonging to the Need for Speed series

Game Play

Players run a crew and can hire specific street racers to be in their crew. Each hirable street racer has two skills, one which is a racing skill (scout, blocker, and drafter) and a non-race skill (fixer, mechanic, and fabricator). Each skill has different properties from finding hidden alleys/back streets to reducing police attention.

In career mode, players have to race tracks to conquer territories and face off against bosses to conquer districts.

The game also features the return of drift racing, a mode that had been included in two previous installments Need For Speed: Underground and Need For Speed: Underground 2, but omitted from Carbon's predecessor, Most Wanted; and new style of race, Canyon Racing, based on Japanese Touge races. There are 4 types of Canyon Races: Canyon Duel, Canyon Race (essentially a sprint or "Canyon Sprint"), Canyon Checkpoint and Canyon Drift. Canyon Duels consists of two stages. The first part the follower gains points contingent on how tight and aggressive he/she can follow the leader. The second stage the follower takes the lead and loses points depending on how good the first stage leader follows the follower. The follower wins the duel by reaching the finish line with points. The leader loses the race if the follower passes the leader for 10 seconds. The follower loses the race if he/she falls behind for 10 seconds. Either car will lose the race if he/she crashes through the cliff. Checkpoint races works the same way Tollbooth races worked in Most Wanted—players must get from one point to another within the alloted time. The Drag race mode has been omitted from Carbon, previously featured in Underground, Underground 2, and Most Wanted.

The Need for Speed: Carbon Collector's Edition features 4 exclusive cars, 10 pre-tuned cars (out of the box), 6 new races, 3 unique challenge events, 10 unique vinyls and a Bonus DVD showing the making of Carbon and showcasing all the cars used in the game. The Collector's Edition also features alternate box art and metallic finish packaging. Although the Mac edition doesn't display the Collector's Edition title, it contains all Collector's Edition features.

The mobile edition of the game (Own the City) features the Audi TT and the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, while the downloaded version of the game features the Ultimate Performance Kit, 2006 Pagani Zonda F and the 1971 Dodge Challenger.

There is also the ability now to upload one's in game screenshots to the Need for Speed website, complete with stats and modifications. Also, the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 versions features an online only, "Be the Cop" racing mode, wherein the fastest player has to try and evade the others who are all police; once someone overtakes the fastest player they then become the hunted car.

Battle Stadium D.O,N

2008-04-05T08:41:00.000+08:00

Battle Stadium D.O.N featuring characters from the popular is a Japanese fighting game for the GameCube and PlayStation 2anime and manga series Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and Naruto, hence the D.O.N. This game received a rating of 28/40 from Weekly Famitsu.

Gameplay

Similar to the Super Smash Bros. series, the players are put onto either a moving or non-moving stage. Borrowing from Power Stone, these stages have some level of interactivity. Players must then fight their opponents. Unlike other fighters, D.O.N uses a combined health gauge, that is, decreasing the health of one player will in turn increase the health of the other players. Thus, in order for one player to win a fight, they must make their own health bar take up the entire bar. As such, a fight can potentially last indefinitely if no time limit is set. Also, there are in game techniques that can be pulled off (ie. Kamehameha for Goku and Summoning Jutsu for Naruto) and supers that can transform the characters into a new form (ie. Naruto's Rasengan turning him into the Kyubi and Goku's Spirit Bomb turning him into the Super Saiyan). In addition, some characters can induce a temporary transformation during the battle (ie. Sasuke's Sharingan).

Woody Woodpecker

2008-04-05T08:27:00.003+08:00

Woody Woodpecker is an animated cartoon character, an anthropomorphic woodpecker who appeared in theatrical short films produced by the Walter Lantz animation studio and distributed by Universal Pictures. Though not the first of the "screwball" characters that became popular in the 1940s, Woody is perhaps the most indicative of the type.

Woody was created in 1940 by storyboard artist Ben "Bugs" Hardaway, who had previously laid the groundwork for two other "screwball" characters, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, at the Schlesinger/Warner Bros. studio in the late 1930s. Woody's character and design would evolve over the years, from an insane bird with an unusually garish design to a more refined looking and acting character in the vein of the later Chuck Jones version of Bugs Bunny. Woody was originally voiced by Mel Blanc, the voice actor who voiced Bugs Bunny and most of the other Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies characters. Blanc was succeeded as Woody's voice by Ben Hardaway and later by Grace Stafford, wife of Walter Lantz.

Walter Lantz produced theatrical cartoons longer than most of his contemporaries, and Woody Woodpecker remained a staple of Universal's release schedule until 1972, when Lantz finally closed down his studio. The character has only been revived since then for special productions and occasions, save for one new Saturday morning cartoon, The New Woody Woodpecker Show, for the Fox Network in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

Woody Woodpecker cartoons were first broadcast on television in 1957 under the title The Woody Woodpecker Show, which featured Lantz cartoons bookended by new footage of Woody and live-action footage of Lantz. Though less popular today, a repackaged version of The Woody Woodpecker Show is still frequently seen in television syndication. Woody has a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on 7000 Hollywood Blvd. He also made a cameo alongside many other famous cartoon characters in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Digital Monster X-Evolution

2008-04-05T08:23:00.002+08:00

Digital Monster X-Evolution is the 8th Digimon movie, and the first to air on Japanese television rather than being in Japanese theaters first.
Digital Monster X-Evolution is also the first and, so far, only Digimon movie to be done entirely in CG, as well as the only Digimon movie not related to one of the Digimon anime series. It is frequently referred to among fans by the commonplace portmanteau, "Digimon X-Evolution".

Story

The Digital World is becoming so overpopulated that the super computer (Yggdrasil) that governs the Digital World can't handle it anymore. His solution? Wipe out the vast majority of the Digimon with the X Virus. He chooses a very small percentage to be moved to a new Digital World because he plans to destroy the old Digital World. Those who were not chosen but survived anyway and moved to the new world had a rare gift known as the X-Antibody, this antibody when activated changed their appearance and made them more powerful. Those who have the X-Antibody are generally distinguished by the X in their name and sometimes an X placed on their body somewhere (for example Tokomon's X on the forehead). There are few with the X-Antibody that are not distinguished by an X after their name but this is because there is no other version of them in existence that doesn't have the X-Antibody so there is no need to distinguish the normal and X-Antibody apart with the X surname. Yggdrasil is protected by the Royal Knights, incuding Omnimon, Gallantmon and Magnamon, who eliminate X-Antibody Digimon.

One of the outcasts is a strange dog-like Digimon named Dorumon. Dorumon seems to be rejected by every body, and is attacked by a Leomon who wants his X-Antibody. Leomon eventually dies and asks Dorumon to live for him. WarGreymon X tries to make peace with a group of normal Digimon, but Omnimon shows up and eliminates them all except WarGreymon X and Tokomon who escape. The two crash land at a temple where Dorumon lives. WarGreymon X leaves Tokomon in Dorumon's care and draws omnimons fire. Omnimon fights them later, seriously wounding Tokomon and Dorumon. MetalGarurumon X and WarGreymon X shows up to battle Omnimon. MetalGarurumon X is mortally wounded and dies, giving his X-Antibody to the injured Tokomon. Dorumon digivolves into Dorugamon in response to Omnimons assault. WarGreymon X draws their fire and just before Omnimon attacks Gallantmon intervenes. Gallantmon believes Yggdrasil is eliminating all Digimon, but dies when he is impaled by Omnimon's blade. Magnamon later kidnaps Dorugamon and extracts his DNA.

Dorugamon is left for dead in a junkyard and is taken into hiding by WarGreymon X's troops, including Wizardmon, Mummymon and Silphymon. The forces of Yggdrasil later attack and the Digimon defend themselves, Dorugamon eventually digivolving to his Ultimate Level. Gallantmon X and MetalGarurumon X later return from the dead to help battle. Gallantmon opens the way to Yggdrasil's domain where Omnimon and Magnamon await. Omnimon dismembers Dorumon, who digivolves into Alphamon. Omnimon turns against Yggdrasil and teams up with Dorumon's true form, Alphamon, to restore the Digital World. Yggdrasil is destroyed at the cost of Alphamon's life. He gives his X-Antibody to Omnimon who becomes Omnimon X. Alphamon is de-digivovled to Dorumon, who returns home to find Tokomon waiting for him.

Devil May Cry 3 : Special Edition

2008-04-05T07:22:00.001+08:00

At the 2005 Tokyo Game Show, Capcom announced there would be a special edition of Devil May Cry 3.It included a number of gameplay changes and additional content. Most notably, players could now choose to play as Dante's twin brother, Vergil. Other changes included an added survival mode called "Bloody Palace" with a total of 9999 levels; a new boss fight early in the game, with optional fights later; a "Turbo Mode" for 20 percent faster gameplay; and a continue system which can revive the character instantly, or allow the player to restart the fight they just lost as many times as they like. The game also has rebalanced difficulty.

Vergil has only one style, "Dark Slayer" (similar to Dante's "Trickster" style), which includes evasive maneuvers, and can be leveled up twice, just like Dante's initial four styles. He has three weapons: his O-katana called Yamato, the Beowulf gauntlets and greaves, and the Force Edge broadsword. He has only one ranged attack, "Summoned Swords", which creates magical swords that can be used for a variety of effects.

The new boss is a character from the first version, Jester. In the first edition of Devil May Cry 3, Jester was a plot-important character who was encountered several times during cutscenes, but never actually fought. In Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Jester is a semi-optional boss (insofar as the first fight with him is mandatory but the later encounters can be skipped) who can be fought three times.

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition was released on January 24, 2006 for US$19.99 as part of the PlayStation 2 Greatest Hits Collection. It was later confirmed that the PlayStation 2 version of the game would also be released in Europe.

On February 1, 2006, Ubisoft announced that they would be publishing a PC version of the game developed by SourceNext.The European PC version was the first to come out, even before the Special Edition was released for the PlayStation 2 in that region, being released on June 28, 2006. The North American version was released on October 16, 2006. The game was published in Japan on June 30, 2006.

In Europe, the PlayStation 2 version came out on September 29, 2006 for GB£14.99 and was slightly different from the North American version. Vergil and Bloody Palace mode were unlocked from the start, but the Turbo mode was taken out of the game.

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition was also included in a 5th Anniversary Collection of Devil May Cry games, a collection of the first three games.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4

2008-04-05T07:14:00.002+08:00

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, often called THPS4, is the fourth game released in the Tony Hawk's series. It was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision for the GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. In 2003 it was published for the PC, Macintosh and Tapwave Zodiac.

The game is a departure from the previous three games' Career mode, in which you had a set amount of time in order to find and complete goals. THPS4 instead featured a Career mode more similar to Free-skate mode, in which there was no time limit to explore the level. This Career mode would be later seen as the Story modes of Tony Hawk's Underground series, American Wasteland, Project 8 and Proving Ground.

The game, reportedly, would be the last Pro Skater in the series, though some took this to mean it would be the last Tony Hawk's game in the entire series.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater Proving Ground

2008-04-04T18:10:00.001+08:00

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (abbreviated as THPG) is a video game developed by Neversoft for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles; by Page 44 Studios for the PlayStation 2 and Wii; and by Vicarious Visions for the Nintendo DS. Proving Ground is the ninth game in the Tony Hawk's series, (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, and Tony Hawk's American Sk8land are side games and not considered part of the main series).

There are three different skater classes—Rigger, Hardcore, and Career—each with its own set of special abilities, and each determining the direction of Proving Ground's career mode story. The DS version does not have all 3 different classes, instead it uses a balance between Career and Hardcore.

Proving Ground also offers a full-featured video editor and a customizable skate lounge where players can skate with others online and add items that they have unlocked throughout their progress in Career Mode. It also has a new mechanic with the Nail the Trick feature which is Nail the Grab and Nail the Manual The video editor, Skate lounge and Nail the Manual are not available in the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS versions of the game. The PS2 versions just have Nail the Manual but they don't have the video editor and skate lounge.

Proving Ground also includes real-time changes to the skater's appearance based on the amount of injuries inflicted on the character. Also, unlike the two previous games in the series, you are able to customize your skater from the ground up, instead of picking a template first.

The Wild : Walt Disney Production

2008-04-04T17:44:00.002+08:00

The Wild is a computer-animated film directed by Steve "Spaz" Williams, produced by Clint Goldman, assistant produced by John Burton and C.O.R.E. Feature Animation, and was released by Walt Disney Pictures on April 14, 2006 in the US.

The Wild received some harsh responses even before the trailer premiered. Movies.com described it as "Madagascar meets Finding Nemo with The Lion King thrown in for effect."

The movie has many similarities to Madagascar including its setting in New York, similar animals as characters, and the primary plot of introducing zoo animals to the wild. The name of the film and the tag line, "Start spreading the newspaper", a play on the opening line from the "Theme from New York, New York", were both used as integral plot points in Madagascar. The koala's line "Sprechen Sie Koala?" mirrors Madagascar's: "You. quadraped. Sprechen Sie Englisch?" Because of this, some people believe that the movie is a possible plagiarism of Madagascar, a Jack Bauer-meets-Madagascar film. Rotten Tomatoes describes the critics' consensus on The Wild as "With a rehashed plot and unimpressive animation, there's nothing wild about The Wild". The similarities to Finding Nemo are having a young animal being kidnapped somewhere else, and his parent goes out to find him.

There is evidence that The Wild was in production for a decade. The director, Steve Williams, said that he received the script in 2001. His contract with Disney stated that C.O.R.E would animate, and this contract was green-lit in 2003. The Wild has reportedly been in some form of production for a decade, first being called The Big Break, then Wildlife, and finally The Wild. Animators from the film have come forward on internet communities such as IMDb and stated openly that they had been working on The Wild already when they first saw the trailer for Madagascar. Several even believe that Marty's line "I wish I could go to The Wild!" from Madagascar is a direct mocking of their own efforts.

It is the belief of some that Madagascar was rushed into production to "beat" The Wild into theaters. Many supporters of this theory cite their personal opinions on the story and animation quality of Madagascar as being poor. Despite that, Madagascar was more successful financially than The Wild.

This would not be the first time for Disney and Dreamworks that two films with a similar theme were released in close proximity. In the fall of 1998, Dreamworks released its talking bug film "Antz" mere weeks before Disney/Pixar released "A Bug's Life". A similar scheduling occurred in 2000 when Dreamworks released The Road to El Dorado against Disney's The Emperor's New Groove, both set in Central/South America, using similar animation styles. Later on in 2004, Dreamworks released Shark Tale, which had an underwater theme resembling that of Pixar's Finding Nemo (2003), and the new film Ratatouille has a rodent themed world like Flushed Away(although Flushed Away was merely helped by Dreamworks). It has also been suggested that Disney's rebranding of Rapunzel: Unbraided as Rapunzel was due to its original similarity to Shrek's parodying of fairy tale worlds.

Story

After the New York City zoo closes, all the animals play a game of turtle-shelling except five, who are looking for their leader's son Ryan, who has been shipped to Africa. Along the way, they encounter dogs, crocodiles, geese, and chameleons who think they're covert agents. At sea, thanks to Larry, they escape a crash with a cruise ship. In Africa they encounter a wicked wildebeest named Kazar, voiced by William Shatner.

Robotech

2008-04-04T17:36:00.003+08:00

Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles (2006)

In 2002,Tommy Yune announced development of a new sequel movie, which was not named until 2004 as Robotech: Shadow Force. The storyline overlaps with and continues from the unresolved ending of the original series. The title of the story-arc was soon changed to Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. The first trailers with finished animation were shown at Anime Expo and Comic-Con International in 2005. It was not until February 2006, when Kevin McKeever, operations coordinator at Harmony Gold, was able to confirm that the pilot movie had been completed. After a series of delays, FUNimation Entertainment was finally announced as the home video, broadcast, and theatrical distributor at the 2006 Comic-Con International in San Diego. Harmony Gold premiered the movie at various film festivals in 2006, with a limited theatrical run in January 2007, and released the DVD on February 6, 2007. A 2-disc collector's edition was released in November 2007.

Robotech: Shadow Rising (2009)

On July 27, 2007, at their Comic-Con International panel, Harmony Gold and Robotech director Tommy Yune unveiled the second entry of the Shadow Chronicles production, titled Robotech: Shadow Rising. Pre-production has begun, and a projected release date of sometime in 2009 is currently expected.

Yu-Gi-Oh GX Tag Force for PSP

2008-04-04T17:18:00.003+08:00

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force is the first Yu-Gi-Oh! installment to the PlayStation Portable gaming system by the game development company Konami, released September 14, 2006 in Japan, and November 14, 2006 in the USA.

The player's character appears in a school known as the Duel Academy, and must battle his way to the top rank. Four players can duel each other at the same time through wire connections, leading to massive team competition. Full character models are also present for each character such as Jaden Yuki ,Alexis Rhodes. Far more cards have also been added into this new Yu-Gi-Oh! video game that were featured within the anime, leading for a far greater selection overall. A specific character animation will also appear after the player selects and uses a certain card.

A new more advanced feature allows for the player to tag up with another player - human or computer against another person, hence the Tag Force part of the title. Due to the fact that each duelist - opponent or ally each wield a completely different deck, vast more amounts of strategy are present. Due to this fact, each players' deck can revolve around the protection of their ally as well as themselves. Within wireless multi-player as well, the player is are allowed to select two unique characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX universe and two unique decks. Within the Japanese version, the chosen character from Yu-Gi-Oh GX! would utter words when activating a specific card; this option was taken out within the US version for reasons unexplained. The dialogue, however, in the US version, is replaced by dub-related subtitles.

Overall, around 2,400 different cards are allowed use, in which random Japanese-only cards are also in, even including random personalized cards such as "Dizzy Tiger". Another supporting factor of this game is to talk to, and experience the full specialized deck of each individual random character within Duel Academy, not just the main primary characters. The player may choose one of the random characters as his or her tag partner.

Ice Age : The Meltdown Story

2008-04-04T13:35:00.003+08:00

In the opening scene, Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel climbs up a glacier side, hoping to take back his acorn. He pulls it out, unknowingly opening a hole in the glacier, which water soon jets out of. With that, Scrat is shot down with the stream. The world of ice is slowly melting.

In the next shot, the creatures of the Ice Age are all shown enjoying themselves on slides and pools made by the melting ice; among them the three protagonists of the first film: Manfred, Sid, and Diego. Sid opens a day camp, where none of the younger creatures take him seriously, nor do Manfred and Diego, which leaves Sid seeking a daring deed for more respect. Soon, the trio discover Fast Tony and Stu, a pair of local con artists claiming that the earth will flood and that the bark and reeds which they sell are needed to snorkel and stay aloft. Manfred dismisses the idea, but is distracted when he sees that Sid will try to high dive from a giant waterfall; as Manfred goes with Diego to the top of the waterfall to save Sid from his act of daredevilry, they see that the global warming caused the ice of the valley to melt, and it is kept from destroying the valley only by the glaciers, which have formed a dam. It is then that a turkey vulture known as the Lone Gunslinger tells the animals that a giant piece of a fallen tree can act as a boat and save them from the floods; all soon set out to find it.

During the time that the masses of animals escape, a glacier which contains two sea reptiles from the Mesozoic era, (Cretaceous and Maelstrom), breaks off. The con-man Stu is an example of these reptiles' hunger as he is soon devoured, leaving behind his shell alone.

Along the way, Manfred grows unhappy when other animals tease him about being the last mammoth alive. Manfred takes his leave for a moment, leaving Diego and Sid alone, unknowingly to be heckled by two opossums named Crash and Eddie. The opossums proceed to torture Sid and Diego, shooting pebbles at them and baiting them to fight in the manner of Whac-A-Mole. Meanwhile, Manfred meets Ellie, a female mammoth who believes she is an opossum and the sister of Crash and Eddie. Sid invites her to tag along with the group to escape the flood, and she brings her brothers, who spare no chance at their pranks.

After a perilous ordeal with Cretaceous and Maelstrom, Sid finds out that Diego is afraid of water. As they walk Ellie plays with her brothers and gets stuck under a log. Manfred lifts it off her and it opens up an area which Ellie recalls from her childhood as the place where she was adopted by her brothers' mother. She finally realises she is a mammoth and starts getting along with Manfred but grows apart from him when he suggests "saving their species". In time, when the situation calls for it, to save them all from falling into a gorge of pointed rocks, they make up. During the night, while all are asleep, Sid is kidnapped by a tribe of mini-sloths (small multi-coloured sloths) who believe Sid to be a god. Sid lights a fire for them, and believes that he has found respect as their deity, but they plan instead to sacrifice him to a volcano. Sid escapes this fate and returns with his herd.

The next morning, Manfred and the others regroup with Sid, who regales them with his experience with none convinced, and they all find out that they had overslept. As they all rush to reach salvation, they find a field of hot geysers, which separate Manfred, Sid, and Diego from Ellie and her brothers. Each group believes in espacing the geysers differently(Namely Manny and Ellie).

When the flood comes, Manfred saves Ellie from drowning as she is caught in a grotto of rocks, while Diego overcomes his fear of water to save Sid. All is about to be ruined when Cretaceous and Maelstrom come about, but due to Manfred's quick thinking, they are finished off by a rock which falls on them. While all this happens, the other animals are taken on a death ride on the "boat" as it floats about, and are off at the mercy of the water currents.

Meanwhile, Scrat climbs up the glacier, and at the top sticks the acorn he has into the ice. This forms a crack in the glacier, which widens into a fissure, diverting the flood and saving the animals. Scrat is then washed away in the raging water.

In the final scene, a herd of mammoths shows up, removing the need for Manfred and Ellie to mate and proving to other animals that mammoths are not extinct; however, love triumphs and they decide to remain together anyway, taking Sid, Diego, and the opossum brothers along. Now they are one big happy family: a sloth, a sabre toothed cat, two opossums and two mammoths.

The epilogue shows Scrat having a near death experience after falling into the fissure he mistakenly opened. He enters a heaven full of acorns, amazed completely. He sees a gigantic acorn, reaches for it and nearly grabs it. Suddenly, he finds himself torn away from heaven (The music stopping abruptly). He wakes up in the arms of Sid the sloth, who had resuscitated him. Taken from his heavenly, giant acorn, Scrat is enraged and proceeds to attack his savior.

Ranma 1/2

2008-04-04T13:19:00.002+08:00

Ranma ½ is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi with an anime adaptation. The story revolves around a 16-year old boy named Ranma Saotome who was trained from early childhood in martial arts. As a result of an accident during a training journey, he is cursed to become a girl when splashed with cold water, but hot water will change him back into a boy.
In Japan, the manga was serialized in Shogakukan's Shōnen Sunday where it ran from 1987–1996. Takahashi has stated in interviews that she wanted to produce a story that would be popular with children. Ranma's main audience was boys from elementary to junior high school age.
Ranma ½ was extremely popular among American anime fans in the 1990s and popularized many of anime's most common visual gags. The infamous 'cursed springs' plot device has even come up in anime-themed custom role playing games as a quick transgender device. The anatomical logistics of the cursed condition were purposely glossed over by Takahashi to avoid complications or detractions from its comedic effect.
In November 2006, the New York Comic Con announced that it would host the first-ever American Anime Awards. Anime fans had the chance to vote for their favorites online during the month of January 2007. Only the five nominees receiving the most votes were announced February 5th for each category. Among the 12 different categories, Ranma ½ was voted into the "Best Comedy Anime" category, and the Ranma ½ OVA series was voted into the "Best Short Series" category.

Virtual Reality

2008-04-04T12:57:00.002+08:00

Virtual reality (VR) is a technology which allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment, be it a real or imagined one. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special or stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced, haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications. Users can interact with a virtual environment or a virtual artifact either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired glove, the Polhemus boom arm, and omnidirectional treadmill. The simulated environment can be similar to the real world, for example, simulations for pilot or combat training, or it can differ significantly from reality, as in VR games. In practice, it is currently very difficult to create a high-fidelity virtual reality experience, due largely to technical limitations on processing power, image resolution and communication bandwidth. However, those limitations are expected to eventually be overcome as processor, imaging and data communication technologies become more powerful and cost-effective over time.

Game Boy Advance SP

2008-04-03T23:25:00.004+08:00

The Game Boy Advance SP released in February 2003, is an upgraded version of Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. The "SP" in Game Boy Advance SP stands for "Special Player". The SP is accompanied by the Nintendo DS (released in November 2004) and the Game Boy Micro (released in September 2005).

The GBA SP is slightly more than half the size of the GBA when closed and roughly the height of Nintendo's Game Boy Color when open. The clamshell or laptop design protects the screen from scratches and dust, reminiscent of two-screen Game & Watch units. However, the casing is made from a different material, making it more prone to scratches than previous Game Boy systems.
The GBA SP AC adapter comes with the package to recharge its lithium ion battery, something previous Game Boys did not have. The software library and general hardware specifications are identical to those of the Game Boy Advance.

Nintendo GameCube

2008-04-03T23:15:00.002+08:00

The Nintendo GameCube is Nintendo's fourth home video game console and is part of the sixth generation era. The hardware system is the most compact, and second-least expensive after Sega's Dreamcast, of the sixth generation era consoles. It is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and the predecessor of the Wii. The console was released on September 14, 2001 in Japan, November 18, 2001 in North America, May 3, 2002 in Europe, and May 17, 2002 in Australia. As of December 31, 2007, the GameCube has sold 21.72 million units worldwide.

Nintendo has used several advertising strategies and techniques for the GameCube. The earliest commercials displayed a rotating cube video, which would morph into the GameCube logo. A female voice whispered "GameCube." This was usually after the normal commercial for a GameCube game.Subsequent ad campaigns had Nintendo advertising with a "Who Are You" tangent to market the wide range of games Nintendo offers. The idea behind the "Who Are You?" campaign is that "you are what you play"; the kind of game a gamer enjoys playing suggests a dominant trait in that gamer's personality. The "Who Are You" logo is similar to graffiti lettering. Most of the "Who Are You?" commercials advertised games developed or published by Nintendo, but some developers paid Nintendo to promote their games, using Nintendo's marketing and advertising resources. One example is the advertisement campaign for Square Enix's GameCube-exclusive Final Fantasy game, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

Besides the Adventure mode, there is a Battle mode. You can play Vs. Mode, with a friend or the CPU. This mode lets you choose 40 different characters, all of which you have defeated in the Adventure mode. From the popular bosses such as Eneru and Rob Lucci(both Man, and Man/Beast forms), to the basic Marine and Island Soldier. There is also a Survival Mode where you can play as either one of the Straw Hats, or one of the bosses in a huge 1 man brawl against 200 enemies against the clock.

Madagascar Story

2008-04-03T22:28:00.003+08:00

Alex the lion, Marty the starry-eyed zebra, Melman the hypochondriac giraffe and Gloria the "hip", slightly chubby hippo have a pampered life at the Central Park Zoo in New York City where they show off to the crowds and generally enjoy themselves. But Marty, celebrating his tenth birthday, longs to see the rest of the world and dreams of life in the wild. When he learns that the zoo's penguins are planning to escape he decides to follow suit, and return by morning. He has a vague notion that the wild can be found in Connecticut, so one night he sneaks out of the zoo and sets off on foot for Grand Central Terminal, where he hopes to take the Metro-North Railroad to Connecticut.

When the others find him gone, they head for Grand Central Station via the Subway to try and get him back. Arriving at Grand Central, they scare away most of the passengers (except for one determined old lady who leaves Alex on his toes) and catch Marty. They then manage to wreck the information desk before being shot with tranquilizer darts, along with the penguins and Mason and Phil, two chimpanzees who also escaped. Anti-zoo campaigners use the incident as evidence that animals should not be locked up. Because of this, all the animals soon find themselves in wooden crates aboard a cargo ship to Kenya.

The penguins succeed in taking over the ship and changing its course, following their initial plan of making their way to Antarctica. During the penguins' takeover, the crates containing Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria fall overboard and they become separated on the ocean. Alex is washed ashore on a tropical beach. All night he is alone, but in the morning finds Melman stuck in his crate. Gloria and Marty soon wash ashore on the beach too. At first Melman assumes they are in San Diego, and Alex is upset that he will be outshone by Shamu, but when they discover a large tribe of lemurs led by King Julien XIII (voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen), they realize they are not in the United States anymore. They are actually in the wild, on the island of Madagascar.

Alex is furious with Marty, blaming him for the group's situation. He divides the island between them and forces Gloria and Melman to help him build a beacon-holding Statue of Liberty lookalike. His plan is to ignite the beacon, making them easy to notice for the boat, which Alex believes is coming to rescue them. However, Melman accidentally sets the whole statue on fire and destroys it. Gloria and Melman then join Marty, and Alex soon decides that he has been a jerk to his friend and joins the others to live on Madagascar.

Meanwhile, the penguins arrive in snowbound, windswept Antarctica and decide that "Well, this sucks..."

Julien hopes that the lemurs' new friends, whom he calls the "New York Giants", will scare away the foosa, enemies of the lemurs who have been preying on them. Despite the protests of his advisor Maurice (who thinks that Alex, as a carnivore, might be dangerous), Julien convinces the lemurs to welcome Marty and the others to their own little corner of paradise.

Unfortunately Alex, who has only ever eaten pre-cut steaks until now, is beginning to regain his natural predatory instincts. After losing control and attacking Marty, he is considered too dangerous to be a friend to his zoomates, or to any of the lemurs. Julien admits that Maurice has some sense in fearing Alex, and banishes the lion to the side of the island dominated by the foosa, just before everyone ends up running for their lives. Alex came to his senses for a time after a knock on the head by a coconut, and made the decision to leave his friends behind rather than do something he'd later regret. Marty, now completely aware of the predatory factor of the wild, is devastated at the realization that this is happening to him.

The penguins soon arrive in the ship. Realizing this may be a way back into New York, Marty goes to find Alex (against Gloria's advice). He ends up deep in foosa territory where he unsuccessfully tries to get Alex to come with him. The foosa eventually attack him, and soon he, Melman, Gloria and the penguins end up fighting for their lives, hopelessly outnumbered by the hungry creatures. Then Alex appears. At first he seems to have completely returned to his hunting instincts and claims Marty as his own prey. But this turns out to be a ruse: Alex has managed to overcome his predatory instincts. Using the foosa's natural fear of him, Alex drives the predators away from lemur territory forever. Needless to say, Julien made it clear that his original plan was a huge success.

Following a celebration dinner, at which Alex's hunger is finally sated by the discovery that he likes fish even better than steak, the friends return to the ship, leaving the penguins behind, and plan a round-the-world cruise, unaware that the ship is out of fuel, thus making this their permanent home.

One Piece - Episode 313 - 314

2008-03-30T22:48:00.003+08:00

Episode 313-Disturbed Peace! The Marine Vice-Admiral with the Fist of Love
Well everyone is recuperating at Water 7 while it recovers from the Aqua Laguna. Kokoro was visiting with Yokozuna, Chimney and Gonbe. They think that Luffy is awake when in realty he is still sleeping as he eats.

One of the big facts in this episode was the statement of Franky’s dream. He had needed 200 million berri to buy a legendary wood- Adam - from this type of wood he would build a ship. This, he would give to the Mugiwara. Gold Roger sailed on a ship made from the same material. The episode ends with the appearance of Vice-Admiral Garp.

Episode 314- The Ultimate Lineage? Luffy’s Father Revealed!
Luffy was awaken rather painfully from his grandfather - Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp. Sanji questioned Luffy on why would it hurt since he was a rubber man, punches shouldn’t hurt. However, Garp calls it a fist of love, so it would and should hurt.

Luffy is pretty scared of his grandfather, so he tells the other Mugiwara to don’t attack Garp. Then he gets into a long standing argument with the vice-admiral about his dream of becoming a pirate, when it was apparently Garp’s intention after tossing him into

countless ravines, jungles and into the sky with balloons to train him to become a proficient marine. Garp blames it on the influence of Shanks. So they were arguing and suddenly they fell asleep. Possibly a characteristics of the family

it is similar to how Ace falls asleep into his food. After beating Luffy again for his rudeness towards him, Garp reveals a bit more information on the level of Pirate that Shanks is at.

Anyhow this episode had the appearance of Coby and Helmeppo, who were training with Garp. Luffy and Zoro who came back from town

didn’t recognized who Helmeppo is while they were very surprised at the appearance of Coby. But a fact even more amazing occurred, Garp mentions about the identity of Luffy’s father and how Luffy had met him in Lougetown, when he saw them off. Monke

y D. Dragon - a revolutionary…. meaning a force that was very similar to what Kohza in Alabasta was doing, which was gathering forces to overthrow the monarchies. This shocked everyone present until Garp told them all to forget about it…. but it’s it’s a pretty amazing end to an amazing episode.

Gear

2008-03-27T23:12:00.001+08:00

Are you know about Gear on one piece ??Luffy's most powerful abilities are his upgraded Gears, which he developed after being beaten effortlessly by Admiral Aokiji. Luffy's Gears are used to enhance his basic attacks, and are regarded as different forms of his regular body. To date, Luffy has used two forms in the story; Gear Second and Gear Third. He has also been shown as capable of using both techniques simultaneously, although it greatly strains Luffy's body.

Luffy gained stretching powers from eating the Gomu Gomu no Mi, one of many Devil Fruits in One Piece. As a result, Luffy's body gained the properties of rubber, giving him incredible stretching abilities. Luffy uses the malleability of his limbs to achieve tremendous velocity to strike enemies with devastating impact. His rubber body is virtually immune to recoil from these attacks, and blunt objects such as punches and even bullets deflect off him harmlessly. Fighters with superhuman strength however, such as CP9 member Rob Lucci, have proven capable of damaging Luffy regardless of his normal resistance. Luffy's body also resists electricity, an ability which gave him an advantage while fighting Enel. Luffy is also able to store large amounts of liquids in his body (such as water) as seen during his battle with Crocodile. Like all Devil Fruit users, Luffy cannot swim.

Dragon Ball Z

2008-03-23T01:20:00.001+08:00

Dragon Ball Z is the series continues the adventures of Son Goku who, along with his companions, defend the Earth and other fictional planets against various supervillains. While the original Dragon Ball anime followed Goku through childhood into adulthood, Dragon Ball Z parallels his adult life with the maturation of his first child, Son Gohan. The series also gives focus to the evolution of his rivals, Piccolo and Vegeta, from evil to good, with the former's evolution ocurring early in the series and latter's spanning across the entire series. The separation between the series is also significant as the later series takes on a more dramatic and serious tone, with a number of villains either threatening or committing acts of mass murder or outright genocide.

Akira Toriyama's self-parody manga series Neko Majin satirizes many concepts introduced in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.

Selama 5 tahun terkhir, empat anggota CP9 (Blueno, Rob Lucci, Kaku, Califa) menyamar menjadi orang-orang terdekat Iceburg. Setelah kelompok topi jerami datang bersama Robin, CP9 mengancam Robin agar dia mau membantunya untuk merebut pluton. Jika tidak, para anggota topi jerami akan dihancurkan oleh serbuan Buster Call. Robin menyetujuinya karena buster call adalah sebagian dari masa lalu kelamnya.

Millennium Ring

2008-03-23T01:06:00.000+08:00

The Millennium Ring

The sinister Millennium Ring possessed the power to transfer a soul from a living being into another object, such as a Duel Monsters card, or a lead miniature. Additionally, it can split the soul of its owner into numerous fragments, which can in turn be transferred to other objects. It is this that makes it the most dangerous of the Millennium Items, since the demon Zorc Necrophades used its power to seal a fragment of his own soul into the ring. When the ring came to be held by the priest and sorcerer Mahado, he had to focus the majority of his magical energy on holding the evil magic of the ring at bay, preventing Zorc's soul from overtaking him and turning him against the Pharaoh.

When the traps set by Mahado failed to prevent the tomb-robber, Thief King Bakura, from desecrating the crypt of the former Pharaoh Ahknamkhanen, he redoubled his efforts to protect the tomb by having himself sealed inside it. As predicted, Thief King Bakura attacked him within the tomb, and Mahado ultimately lost the Shadow Game that they played, and the ring fell into Bakura's hands. He was subsequently able to use it and the other Millennium Items to resurrect Zorc, but the Pharaoh stopped the demon at the cost of his own soul. The precise fate of Thief King Bakura was never divulged - when Yugi and his friends watched the events of the past play out in the form of an interactive Shadow Game, his body was shown to turn to sand, but this was a symbolic representation of his "playing piece" being removed from the "board" of the game, and unlikely what truly befell him. Although it was never explained precisely how, it is apparent that Thief King Bakura's soul, or a portion thereof, was also sealed within the Millennium Ring.

The Ring went on to wander throughout history, passing from owner to owner - Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters reveals that one of the past owners of the ring was Alexander the Great. The item brought him many victories, but began to twist and corrupt him, likely the influence of the spirit of the ring, although outright possession was never confirmed. Alexander's soul was also split by the Ring into two halves: one evil, one good. Alexander lost the Ring (to Shadi, it would seem) after failing a trial to prove he had earned the right to use the Ring, and it continued to wander throughout history until it eventually wound up in the hands of young Ryo Bakura, a gift from his father who acquired it on a trip to Egypt.

When Bakura crossed paths with Yugi and discovered that he possessed the Millennium Puzzle, the "Spirit of the Ring" - by all appearances, the soul of Thief King Bakura, having been taken over by the soul of Zorc - made Bakura his new permanent host and took over his body. He became the most constant foe of Yugi and his friends, regularly working behind the scenes in his attempts to acquire all the Millennium Items - a task made all the easier for him by the Ring's ability to detect other Items, its spikes independently moving to point out the direction of the Items.

Millennium Puzzle

2008-03-23T01:02:00.001+08:00

Millennium Puzzle Originally owned by Atem's (Yami Yugi's) father Aknamkhanan, who after sacrificing himself left it to Atem. Accounts of how the Millennium Puzzle was removed from the Pharaoh's tomb are contradictory. According to Sugoroku Mutou (Solomon Muto), the Puzzle was discovered in the beginning of the 20th century by a team of British archaeologists. The members later died mysterious deaths, and the final words of the last man to die were, "The shadow games." Conversely, the manga later performs a retcon, stating that Sugoroku himself found the Puzzle in 1960. Hiring two guides to help him enter the Pharaoh's tomb, Sugoroku became the target of his guides, who planned to kill him so they could acquire the Puzzle for themselves. Both of them died along the way, but the spirit of the Puzzle saved Sugoroku. The first series anime uses the first account, while the second series anime uses the second account.

The Puzzle was eventually found by Sugoroku's grandson Yugi, a game expert who found it on a shelf in Sugoroku's game shop and, after eight years of trying, successfully reassembled the puzzle. Immediately, the magic of the Shadow Games was unlocked, and the soul of the Pharaoh, still dwelling within the puzzle, infused itself into Yugi's body, periodically taking control to challenge others to contests. (It should be noted that Yugi does not get older when he uses the puzzle, but he is just standing in a different position as Yugi is stated to be the same height as the pharaoh in one of the data books). It would be some time before Yugi and his friends truly understood that a second personality was existing within Yugi, but once it became apparent, Yugi and the Pharaoh co-existed peacefully, and Yugi dedicated himself to helping the Pharaoh regain his memories and defeat the dark forces once again.

The Millennium Puzzle, in addition to holding the soul of the Pharaoh, was able to fulfill one wish of the one who solved it, and heighten its owner's chance of success in a game judging by his or her skill as well as the importance of the game at hand. It also, according to the game Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories, holds the soul of Simon Muran, though it is unclear if he still resides within the Puzzle. It also allows the user to "mind-crush," separate the good and evil sides of someone and banish the evil side to the shadow realm. This is a very painful process not unlike a lobotomy, and will often leave its victims in comas, or at the very least unconscious for several hours. The hieroglyphics on the puzzle say, "The one who solves me shall gain the powers of knowledge and powers of darkness..."

The inside of the Millennium Puzzle looks like a big labyrinth with staircases and walkways that lead to unimaginable places, resembling the paintings of M. C. Escher. There are also doors that seem to lead everywhere. These rooms are meant to distract intruders from Dark Yugi's soul room, and are often filled with traps to catch those intruders. Yugi and the gang find themselves inside the Millennium Puzzle on a few occasions. One of the most important of these occasions happened in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie, in which Yugi and his friends were trapped inside of it.

Not originally a puzzle, the Item was originally called the "Millennium Pyramid", as it was called by Mana in episode 216 of the second series. Only after the Pharaoh's soul was locked inside was it broken into a puzzle to be placed inside his tomb, most likely as an extra precaution to prevent the powers of the Shadow Games from being released.

Millennium Tauk

2008-03-23T00:54:00.001+08:00

Millennium Tauk Known as the Millennium Necklace in the English-language version of the anime series, this Item was secondly owned by the Egyptian priestess Isis Ishtal, and became one of the two Items owned by the guardians of the Pharaoh's tomb throughout history, eventually coming to be owned by Marik's sister, Ishizu Ishtar. The necklace allows its user to see through time, offering glimpses of the past and near future - futures whose outcomes can only be altered through the use of other Millennium Items. Using it to foresee her victory against Seto Kaiba in the Battle City tournament, Ishizu handed the necklace over to Yugi when her vision failed to come true, knowing that the necklace would no longer respond to her.

Millennium Rod

2008-03-23T00:50:00.000+08:00

The second holder of the Millennium Rod in Ancient Egypt was Seto, the Millennium Rod became one of two items owned by the guardians of the Pharaoh's tomb throughout history.

In recent times, when the next tomb-keeper in line, Marik Ishtar, was unwilling to perform his duty, he was overtaken by the dark side of his personality. This "Dark Marik" stole the Millennium Rod and slew his father with the dagger concealed in the rod's shaft (A feature cut from the American version of the Duel Monsters anime), only to then be sealed away within Marik's mind by his servant, Rishid (Odion in the English anime). Nevertheless, the evil part of his mind continued to influence Marik's actions, making him believe that the Pharaoh was responsible for all his pain, and he formed the Ghouls organization (Rare Hunters in the English anime, but Rare Hunter is also the title given to individual Ghouls members in the Japanese version) in order to acquire the three Egyptian God Cards, using the Millennium Rod's power to enslave and control minds, acting through many pawns, including Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler). When Rishid was rendered comatose, Dark Marik emerged, but when he was defeated and banished by Yugi at the completion of the Battle City tournament, Marik was freed of his influence and gave Yugi the Millennium Rod. The Millennium Rod grants its owner the power telekinesis, telapathy, and to controll others. Marik used this ability against Jonouchi during the Battle City arc. The Rod is sometimes referred to as the Millennium Sceptre.

Millennium Scale

2008-03-23T00:47:00.001+08:00

When the second owner of the Millennium Scales, the priest Kalim, fell to Dark Bakura (Yami Bakura) in Ancient Egypt, he gave the last of his energies, and the Scale, to Shada, and consequently, along with his Millennium Key, they were kept safe throughout the ages, ending up in the hands of Shadi in the present day. The Millennium Scale can weigh a person's heart against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth; if a person lies while being interrogated by the owner of the Scale, the side opposite of the feather will lower, as if weighted down by the person's sins, and if the side without the feather drops to the bottom, Ammit, the monster of the abyss, will consume the person's soul, giving modern science the assumption that the cause of "death" was a heart attack. This item also contains the power of fusion, to be used on monsters in shadow games. The Millennium Scale was seen the least in the English version due to its power of "devouring the soul."

Millennium Key

2008-03-23T00:44:00.000+08:00

The first holder of the Millennium Key in Ancient Egypt was Siamun Muran, who called upon its power to summon Exodia, the Forbidden One, to battle. As an end result of that dedication, the Millennium Key became one of two items owned by the guardians of the Pharaoh's tomb throughout history. Owned in Ancient Egypt by the priest Shada, the Millennium Key remained safe throughout the years, guarded by his bloodline, eventually being held in the present day by Shadi. The Key has the shape of an ankh. Its primary unique ability is its power to unlock the doors of a person's soul, giving the user access to the "Room of the Soul," where their thoughts can be observed, or the "room" can even be "redecorated," allowing the user to alter a person's personality. Additionally, it can make the user, and others, invisible, possibly telaportation and may or may not allow them to sense any disruption of the Millennium Items' mystical energies that would be caused by an Item being taken from its rightful owner. The Key is also sometimes called the Millennium Ankh. Strangely enough, the Key is the only Millennium Item to not visibly feature the Wadjet Eye.

Millennium Eye

2008-03-23T00:26:00.003+08:00

Millennium Eye Originally owned by Akhenaden in Ancient Egypt, the Millennium Eye was plucked from his socket by his own hands when the Items were gathered to free Zorc. It, like most of the remaining items, then came into the care of Shada's bloodline, who watched over the items. In the late 20th Century, the current guardian, Shadi, forced the Millennium Eye upon Maximillion Pegasus (Pegasus J. Crawford in the Japanese versions), who was wandering Egypt, searching for a way to restore his deceased love, Cecilia (Cyndia in the Japanese versions) to life, and was chosen by the Eye.

The Millennium Eye allows the user to read the minds of others, which gave Pegasus a great advantage in the Duel Monsters card game, as he would read his opponents' minds and deduce their strategies. Pegasus forced Yugi to participate in his Duelist Kingdom tournament by entrapping the soul of his grandfather, later doing the same to Mokuba and Seto Kaiba, but after being defeated in a Shadow Game by Yugi at the tournament's climax, he was confronted by Ryo Bakura, who tore out the Millennium Eye. Retaining possession of the Eye for a prolonged period, Bakura eventually gave it to Seto Kaiba as part of his plan to lure him into the ancient past. In the manga, as the modern Seto is not involved in this saga, Bakura instead gives the Eye to Yugi.

Franky Family

2008-03-22T18:07:00.001+08:00

The Franky Family is a group of ship dismantlers and bounty hunters, brought together under the leadership of Cutty Flam (better known as Franky).They are the outcasts of Water 7, those whose dream was to work for Iceburg in the Galley-La Corporation, but failed the entry exam to become shipwrights. As a result, they had nowhere else to turn, other than to Franky (who also considers himself something of a failure). Though they do cause some trouble to the citizens of Water 7, they are good at heart. The entire Franky Family are totally inept at saving money for a long period of time and on more than one occasion wasted millions of hard-earned (sometimes stolen) Berri for the sake of spending (though their leader isn't exactly a market planner himself). One of the main people seems to be a round Fukoru-like person who, according to an SBS question answered by Oda, is named Tamagon.The Franky house is the base for the Franky Family. Known both as the Franky House and Scrap Factory. Its located on the northeast beach of Water 7. Not the neatest building like the rest of the city its very colorfull with pale green walls and a light red roof. The name Franky House is prominently displayed over the entrance. It was destroyed by the Straw Hats as revenge for the Franky's mugging Usopp. A crude building has been built in its place after the events in Enies Lobby.

Galley-La Company

2008-03-22T16:19:00.003+08:00

Galley-La Company is a company of shipwrights in One Piece.There are seven docks in the Galley-La company. Each has its own set of workers and its own shipyard. Each Dock can be entered through a towering door with its number on it, through which the shipyard can be reached. It is unknown how many employees the company has, but there are hundreds shown at various points, and as the city is a large city populated largely by shipwrights, the number could be very high. Each Dock has five foremen in charge of it.

Dock One is typically regarded as the most prestigious by many citizens and workers, and it is also the only Dock that much information is known about, as the others haven't been shown in series. The people of Water 7 seem to idolize the foremen of Dock One, discussing how manly or handsome they are, much like one would expect when talking about celebrities.

Galley-La also has a main office, which doubles as Iceburg's home.

Iceburg

The president of the Galley-La company, Iceburg is currently 38 years old. He is loved by the people of Water 7, especially by all of his workers. They enjoy his company and often ask for his opinion and input on anything having to do with building ships.

Iceburg at times seems to have two different personalities. Sometimes, he acts in a very childish way, canceling all of his meetings so that he can show people around, refusing to meet with people because he doesn't like them, finding animals on the ground and taking care of them, and other such behaviors. He currently has a mouse that he named "Tyrannosaurus". However, when the time comes, he can be very serious, and it becomes clear that his childishness is only when he is relaxed.

Iceburg was the holder of the plans to Pluton for four years after Tom's death. After those four years, he secretly gave them to Franky, Tom's other apprentice that Iceburg had known since the two were children. However, as this was done in secret, the government still believes that Iceburg is in possession of the plans. As such, some officials come to try and get them from him on a regular basis.

Iceburg also believed that Nico Robin deserved death because she was the only person alive who could decipher the ancient Poneglyphs that could revive Pluton. He tries to kill her during the Water 7 arc, but later believes that he was wrong about her and that she is a good person.

The recent Aqua Laguna and its devastating impact on Water 7 gave Iceburg the desire to make Water 7 into a boat and float it on the water. When talking to Franky, Iceburg gave out Tom's famous quote, "With a DON!". Franky agreed that the phrase suited Iceburg.

As shown in part 5 of the "Where are they Now" title page mini-arc, he is now holding auditions for a new secretary to replace Califa.

Iceburg was recently voted the 19th most popular character in One Piece.
According to a Volume 43 SBS, Iceburg's birthday is January 3rd. This is because ai is the pronunciation of the English letter "i", which looks like the number one. Su is the first part of the Japanese pronunciation of the word "three" (surī). Put together, these make Aisu (Ice), the first part of Iceburg's name.
Despite the fact that Eiichiro Oda has spelled his name as "Iceburg" multiple times, this isn't always used. Many fans prefer the name "Iceberg". The anime itself spelled the name as "Icebarg" once, while Oda himself wrote it as "Iceberg" in a recent fan poll.
Occasionally, he says “nmaa” before his sentences. It seems he uses it as an ancillary word to express his frustration; similar to the word “well”.

Califa

Califa, Iceburg's secretary, is a young woman who is very good at predicting Iceburg's needs, as well as keeping him on track. As his secretary, she is in charge of keeping track of his meetings and canceling them if it is required; however, she also accompanies him everywhere and gets things together for him before he even asks for them. Normally she is very calm and composed; however, if somebody insults Iceburg, she is very quick to anger, telling them that they are rude and kicking them rapidly in the face. Kalifa is very rarely seen away from Iceburg's side. She seems to care for Iceburg very much, and is very upset when anything happens to him.

Califa was recently voted the 23rd most popular character in One Piece.
According to a Volume 43 SBS, Kalifa's birthday is April 23. This is because Secretary's Day is on April 23.

Shipwrights

Galley-La seems to have very high standards when it comes to accepting new shipwrights; the ones that fail typically go on to join the Franky Family. However, the ones who are accepted all have very distinct personalities.

Paulie

Paulie is one of the five foremen of Dock One. His specialties are rigging, mast-making, and knots. Paulie's fighting style revolves entirely around using ropes and various knots in a style he calls "Rope Action". Despite the fact that all five foremen are equally ranked, Paulie seems to be the most respected by the other shipwrights of Dock One, often even ordering Lulu and Tilestone. He also is the closest of the five to Iceburg, and becomes very upset when he is insulted or harmed. He even says that Iceburg is the one that made him a shipwright, and he is seen admiring the Sea Train when it was first built. After the events of Eneis Lobby, Paulie was given the title of Vice-President of Galley-La, this was shown in the "Where they are now" mini-story.

Paulie has many money problems. He is constantly in debt, and as such is often chased by money-lenders. Whenever he does get money, however, instead of paying off his debts, he gambles it all away, getting himself even deeper in debt. Paulie also doesn't like women wearing what he considers "scandalous clothing"; as such, he has many problems with the way Nami, Kalifa and the Square Sisters dress, and often tells them to wear something that covers more. His "excuse" is that Galley-la is an all-men company. His name is spelled "Pauly" in the english version of Unlimited Adventure. In the edited versions of One Piece the cigars will be removed

Paulie was recently voted the 18th most popular character in One Piece.
According to a Volume 43 SBS, Paulie's birthday is July 8. This is because in the Japanese language, 7 can be pronounced as na, and 8 can be pronounced as wa. Put together, these make nawa, the Japanese word for rope.
Paulie's name was spelled as "Pauly" in a recent poll in Shonen Jump. However, as other characters' names were spelled differently than the accepted canon or fan spellings, the spelling "Paulie" is still, by far, the most common spelling used.
He is confirmed to be one of the two children that are seen running in the opening day of the Puffing Tom.
He is a playable character in the Wii only game, One Piece: Unlimited Adventure.

Rob Lucci

Rob Lucci is one of the five foremen of Dock One. He is a sawyer, bolt specialist, and treenail specialist. Lucci most often fights weaponless, but occasionally will fight with whatever tool he finds nearby. Lucci never talks, preferring to instead talk through his pet pigeon, Hattori, using ventriloquism. Hattori always rides on Lucci's shoulder until Lucci begins fighting, at which point he will fly overhead until the battle is over. Lucci seems to have a rivalry with Paulie, and often chides him for having money problems. Because of this rivalry, the two often fight; however, the matches generally end before there is a victor. Other than this, however, Lucci appears to be very distant from everyone else, including the other foremen and Iceburg.

Lucci was recently voted the 12th most popular character in One Piece.
According to a Volume 43 SBS, Lucci's birthday is June 2nd. This is because in the Japanese language, 6 can be pronounced as ro, and 2 can be pronounced as bu. Put together, these make Robu, Lucci's first name.
Lucci's name is based on the Italian word for light, "Luce". If you count Rob as the meaning 'to steal', then his name can be translated to 'steal the light'.

Kaku

Kaku is one of the five foremen of Dock One. His specialities are mechanics, diagnostics, and housecalls. Kaku fights with bladed weapons of various sorts, although what this is changes. Kaku is very light-hearted, often seen smiling and laughing. He seems to enjoy climbing buildings and jumping off of them to travel, as opposed to walking or riding on a Yagara Bull like most citizens do.

Kaku also has the peculiar habit of speaking like an old man would. Japanese has many different speech patterns that people use, depending on age, gender, location, and other such things. Kaku, however, uses the same speech patterns an old man does. He does this so often that Luffy even asked if he was an old man, to which Kaku replied (while speaking like an old man) that he is 23. This confuses everyone even more.

Kaku is called the "Mountain Wind" by the people of Water 7. Franky, however, calls him the "Mountain Monkey".
Kaku was recently voted the 9th most popular character in One Piece.
According to a Volume 43 SBS, Kaku's birthday is August 7. This is because in Japanese, 8 can be pronounced as ha, and 7 can be pronounced as na. Put together, these make hana, the Japanese word for nose.

Peepley Lulu

Peepley Lulu is one of the five foremen of Dock One. His specialties are pitch, block and tackle, and blacksmithing. Lulu fights with double-weapons, although what weapons he uses change at times; he has been seen fighting with swords, guns, and saws, though he tends to stick with swords later in the story. Lulu constantly has part of his hair sticking up. When he tries to push it down, it always pops up somewhere else, such as the other side of his head, his mustache, and other people's heads. In most situations this is simply humorous, with other characters looking at him funny for it or simply ignoring the oddness. However, at times it actually comes in handy; in battle, Lulu can make the hair come out of somebody's nose to distract them, leaving them open for him to attack.

Tilestone

Tilestone is one of the five foremen of Dock One. His specialties are cabinetry, caulking, and flag making. Tilestone is a very large, strong man, who typically fights with either a large hammer or some sort of huge, hand-held cannon. He has a tattoo going from his chest near his shoulder to his arm with the kanji for "shipwright" , although often only the first kanji, which means "ship", can be seen. Tilestone yells everything he says, even if the situation calls for speaking quietly. The other foremen seem to understand this, and even though they yell at him for it, they also seem to try to accommodate it. However, Tilestone himself seems somewhat unaware of his constant yelling. Tilestone is the last of the foremen to be formally introduced in the story, although he is present from the first scene Galley-La is shown in.

Thats all i know about Galley-La...

Enies Lobby

2008-03-22T15:24:00.002+08:00

Known as the most powerful government fortress Enies Lobby is the Location of the Enies Lobby arc. It is relatively close to Water 7 and is connected to it by the Sea Train. It is defended by a variety of troops and warriors including CP9. The island possessed many novelties including the fact that it is a No Night island. The islands waters are ringed by a massive fence. The island itself hangs out over a massive hole in the ocean making access to the island difficult. The entrance to the island is from the part thats on the sea through two massive gates. To get To the Tower of Justice on a cliff/island on the opposite side of the hole you have to enter the islands massive Court house and lower its drawbridge. The Tower of Justice is the dwelling of CP9. Prisoners who are taken to it proceed to and underwater tunnel that leads to the Bridge of Hesitation. From there they pass trough the colossal Gate Of Justice. After that they go to Navy Headquarters or Impel Down. Enies Lobby was destroyed by the Buster Call.

Devils May Cry Stories

2008-03-20T23:08:00.002+08:00

Devil May Cry

I will talk a lot or a little about Devil May Cry.this game plays on PS2,I like to this game from the stories,Devil May Cry storybegins with Dante being attacked in his office by a mysterious woman named Trish. He impresses her by easily brushing off her assault, and tells her that he hunts demons in pursuit of those who killed his mother and brother. She says the attack was a test, and that the demon emperor Mundus, whom Dante holds responsible for the deaths of his family, is planning a return. The scene jumps to their arrival at an immense castle, whereupon Trish abruptly leaps and vanishes over a high wall.

Dante encounters Phantom.

Dante explores the castle and encounters the game's stock enemies, demonic marionettes. He also finds a new sword called Alastor, and battles the first boss, a giant spider/scorpion demon named Phantom. Dante wins the battle, but in what becomes a recurring theme, the defeated boss monster reappears a short time later in a corridor, forcing the player to choose a narrow escape or to fight in the tight confines. After further exploration and combat, Dante battles a demon named Nelo Angelo who impresses Dante with his confidence.The demon wins, but suddenly flees upon seeing the half-amulet Dante wears. The demon attacks twice more in later missions, and is eventually revealed to be Dante's identical twin brother, Vergil. After Vergil's final defeat, his amulet joins with his brother's half, and "Force Edge", the game's default sword which belonged to the twins' father, becomes the powerful Sparda sword.

When Dante next meets Trish, she betrays him and reveals that she too is working for Mundus. But when her life is endangered, Dante chooses to save her. Saying he only did so because of her resemblance to his mother, he warns her to stay away.Yet when he finally confronts Mundus, who is about to kill Trish, Dante again chooses to save her and is injured. Mundus tries to finish him off, but Trish takes the attack instead. This unleashes Dante's full power.Dante and Mundus then battle on another plane of existence.

Dante is victorious, and leaves the amulet and sword with Trish's immobile body before departing. Mundus returns and corners Dante, who is now back to his regular strength, before he can flee the island; Trish also returns and lends Dante her power. Dante defeats Mundus, who vows to return and rule the human world. When Trish tries to apologize she begins to cry, and Dante tells her it means she has become human and not just a devil, because "devils never cry".Dante and Trish escape on a plane as the island collapses. After the credits, it is revealed that Dante and Trish are working together as partners, and have renamed the shop "Devil Never Cry".

YU GI OH R

2008-03-20T20:20:00.002+08:00

Yakou Tenma, decides to avenge his senpai's defeat at the hands of Yugi Mutou , since Tenma sees blood next to a card, suggesting that Pegasus committed suicide after his loss. He is certain that Pegasus is dead, since the card is of his late wife, Cyndia (Cecelia Pegasus in the English anime), and Pegasus was very devoted to his wife. The blood on the card and the fact that Pegasus does not have it signifies that he has lost his lifelong dream of resurrecting his wife, and Tenma therefore assumes that he is dead. Tenma takes over KaibaCorp while Seto Kaiba is in the United States. Tenma kidnaps Anzu Mazaki (Téa Gardner in the English anime), prompting Yugi and his friend Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler in the English anime) to face Tenma's RA Project (RA stands for "Rebirth of an Avatar") and the duel professors. Seto Kaiba and his brother Mokuba also come to the scene to rescue the company.

Thriller Bark (place where are luffy now ,in comic)

2008-03-15T17:49:00.000+08:00

Thriller Bark is the world's largest ship from the anime and manga One Piece and is owned by Gecko Moria of the Shichibukai. At first glance, because of its size, Thriller Bark seems like an island. It is home to many victims of Moria, as well as revived dead created by Hogback. It is first seen in chapter 443 of the One Piece Manga. The general theme behind the place is one of a complete nightmare full of things from horror stories.

The tower doubles as the main mast of the ship. Inside are Gecko Moria's quarters and Perona's room. The tower also has a massive freezer where the inactive Oz is stored. On the port side of the tower there is a sloping structure that leads from the tower to the ground near the battlements, which is a large stairway. After stealing a being's shadow they are taken down the stairs to their ship which is caught in a giant spider web, after which the ship is released from Thriller Bark.

Harga Buronan

2008-03-12T22:11:00.006+08:00

Sejauh ini, semua anggota Kelompok Bajak Laut Mugiwara telah memiliki harga kepala masing-masing sebagai buronan. Total harga mereka sekarang adalah 667.000.050 Berry. Sejak awal anggota ini telah diprediksikan pihak angkatan laut menjadi ancaman serius bagi dunia. Juga yang dikatakan oleh Admiral Aokiji. Semua anggota baru mendapat "jatah" setelah kejadian di Enies Lobby.

Monkey D. Luffy

Julukan: Luffy si Topi Jerami

Harga Pertama yang diraih Luffy adalah 30.000.000 Berry karena telah mengalahkan Buggy, Krieg, dan Arlong (sebenarnya juga Kuro, tetapi Kuro dianggap telah mati oleh Marinir). Menjadikannya harga yang paling tinggi di wilayah East Blue.
Harga Kedua yang diraih Luffy adalah 100.000.000 Berry karena telah mengalahkan Crocodile, salah seorang dari Sichibukai dan menjatuhkan organisasi kriminal Baroque Works.
Harga ketiga yang diraih Luffy adalah 300.000.000 Berry sebagai hasil dari mengalahkan Rob Lucci dan Blueno dari CP9, menghabisi puluhan ribu pelaut dan agen di Enies Lobby, menghabisi 1000 marinir Buster Call dan selamat dari serbuan Buster Call dalam kehancuran Ennies Lobby. Harga ini menjadikannya harga kedua paling tinggi di serial ini setelah Don Quixote Doflamingo dari Shichibukai.

Roronoa Zoro

Julukan: Zoro si Pemburu Perompak

Harga Pertama yang diraih Zoro adalah 60.000.000 Berry setelah dikonfirmasikan menghabisi 100 orang pemburu hadiah di Whiskey Peak dan mengalahkan Dazz Bones alias Mr.1 dari Baroque Works.
Harga Kedua yang diraih Zoro adalah 120.000.000 Berry setelah tragedi di Enies Lobby. Juga dimungkinkan karena telah mengalahkan Kapten T-Bone dan Kaku dari CP9.

Nami

Julukan: Nami si Kucing Pencuri

Harga pertama yang diraihnya adalah 16.000.000 Berry, setelah kejadian di Ennies Lobby dan mengalahkan Califa dari CP9.

Usopp

Dalam daftar buruan, Usopp dinamakan sebagai Sogeking (juga wajahnya) karena sepanjang di Enies Lobby dia memakai nama itu dan mengenakan topeng.

Julukan: Sogeking si Raja Penembak Ulung

Harga pertama yang diraihnya adalah 30.000.000 Berry, setelah tragedi di Enies Lobby dan menyerukan perang kepada dunia dengan membakar bendera WORLD GOVT. Karena disini dinamakan Sogeking dan sekarang Usopp tidak mengenakan nama dan jati diri itu lagi, dengan demikian Sogeking hanyalah buruan fiktif.

Sanji

Julukan: Sanji si Kaki Hitam

Harga pertama Sanji adalah 77.000.000 Berry, setelah tragedi di Enies Lobby dan mengalahkan Jyabura dari CP9. Yang sangat lucu adalah hanya poster Sanji yang digambar, dan ini sangat mengecewakan bagi dirinya (dan menjadi bahan ejekan Zoro tentunya).

Chopper

Julukan: Chopper si Pecinta Permen Gula (Binatang Peliharaan)

Harga pertama yang diraihnya adalah 50 Berry, setelah tragedi di Enies Lobby. Dia dihargai serendah itu karena dia dianggap oleh pihak angkatan laut sebagai binatang peliharaan topi jerami.

Nico Robin

Julukan: Robin si Anak Iblis

Harga pertama yang diraihnya adalah 79.000.000 Berry pada saat dia berumur 8 tahun. Disebutkan kalau dia menghancurkan belasan kapal angkatan laut. Pada kenyataannya dia dihargai sebesar itu karena bisa membaca sejarah terlarang Poneglyph.
Harga kedua yang diraihnya adalah 80.000.000 Berry setelah tragedi di Ennies Lobby. Foto di sini juga berubah.

Franky

Julukan: Franky si Cyborg

Harga pertama yang diraihnya adalh 44.000.000 Berry setelah tragedi di Enies Lobby dan mengalahkan Fukurou dari CP9.

Avatar: The Last Air Bender

2008-03-12T14:16:00.000+08:00

Avatar: The Last Airbender mengambil tempat di sebuah dunia fantasi, tempat tinggal manusia, berbagai binatang fantastik, dan roh-roh. Peradaban manusia terbagi-bagi menjadi empat bangsa, Suku Air (Water Tribe), Kerajaan Tanah (Earth Kingdom), Pengembara Udara (Air Nomads), dan Negara Api (Fire Nation). Dalam setiap bangsa ada orang-orang yang dipanggil "Bender" (Pembengkok, atau dalam hal ini pengendali) yang memiliki kemampuan mengendalikan unsur alam sesuai bangsa mereka. Seni mengendalikan unsur alam ini merupakan perpaduan gaya seni beladiri dan sihir unsur alam.

Dalam setiap generasi, ada seseorang yang mampu mengendalikan setiap unsur, ialah yang dipanggil sebagai Avatar, roh dari planet yang menitis dalam bentuk manusia. Ketika seorang Avatar meninggal dunia, dia akan terlahir kembali di bangsa yang gilirannya selalu bergantian sesuai dengan siklus Avatar (Avatar Cycle), yang seiring dengan musim: musim dingin untuk air, musim semi untuk tanah, musim panas untuk api, dan musim gugur untuk udara. Legenda mengatakan bahwa seorang Avatar harus mempelajari seni mengendalikan unsur sesuai dengan urutannya, dimulai dengan unsur asli bangsa sang Avatar, namun terkadang urutan ini bisa dilewat jika keadaan memaksa. Mempelajari pengendalian unsur yang berlawanan dengan unsur asli bangsa seseorang adalah hal yang teramat sulit karena perbedaan gaya seni beladiri.
