I come from the Land Down Under...

[Rysing_Furi]

G'day everyeone!
Well im new here, and i've gotta say, this place is awesome! Whoever runs this place does an awesome job (alright enough sucking up ). Anyway, im from australia, and down here we don't get much anime (despite being close to asia etc) so you're flying blind a lot of the time. We do get plate sized spiders however, and about 7 of the most dangerous snakes in the world so that's always a plus . We do get anime on pay tv (adult swim) but that doesn't help much (costs a mint to have). So im relatively new to anime etc. The only anime ive actually seen is Bubblegum Crisis 2040, which is what started me on it. Well...I have seen dragonball z, or "steroid brawl z" but that's pretty pathetic in my opinion .But im wanting to see more. Im not really into manga (I haven't read any mind you!), but anime is great. Im into sports, not overly so, but I enjoy it sometimes. I play volleyball every week and im pretty great at that (as ive been told ), but I also like cricket/baseball, football, plus the odd extreme sport like rock climbing and abseiling, thats always good. Im not crazy enough to jump out of a plane, but for a million bucks I would =). Im also into video games, good ol blow the snot out of aliens kinda games (fps) like Deus Ex, Elite Force, RTCW, but also strategy games like starcraft etc. I just graduated from (home) school a couple of weeks ago, so i'm currently enjoying my freedom at the moment! So....I guess thats about it! That's me in a nut shell, I probably could add a few more things but I can't think of any right now lol. Sorry!

Hajimemashite (from a half-Australian). You have a number of countrymen (and countrywomen ^_^ ) here as well!

[Hephzibah]

Woot! Another Aussie Welcome mate!

...
WAAAH! You also like Deus Ex!!! That game is so cooL! (currently playing it for the umpteenth time).
Anyway, as for anime and manga... your library might have a pretty good collection. I was surprised when I found out mine did Its great!

So what area are you from?

Well, that comment must be about me I dont know any other Aussie chicks on here (or am I just clueless?)

Edit x2:
hey! You're the same age as me nifty! 18 is a great age, isn't it

[Rysing_Furi]

Awesome stuff! A pleasure to meet a fellow aussie, Talame! Yeah Deus Ex is SOOOOO COOOL!! I loved that game!!! Its also cool because it was the first game I played and completed without cheating monstrously LOLOLOL. So im very proud of that fact . Ive probably played it through about a 100 times as well, I usually always try to do it a bit different though. In one i'll use tranquilizers, another i'll just slaughter everyone with the dragon's tooth and gepgun LOLOLOL. But anyway! Too bad the sequel wasn't as good, but oh well!

Hmm...library huh? Never though of that, they might actually be of some use for a change! I'll have to check that out! Thanks!!

What area? I live in NSW, west of sydney near the blue mountains, what about you? Im taking a wild and blind guess but....maybe brisbane?

Oh yes, and 18 is a very great age! Don't we just rock?

The Dragon's Tooth ROCKS!!
*starts chasing men in black with sword*
Can you actually cheat in Deus Ex? I didnt know that... there were times that I really wanted to, but thankfully I got pass those stages. Which one is your favourite ending? I like the one where you fuse with the AI. I WILL RULE THE WORLD!! BWAHAHAHA

I've played the sequel too. Granted, it wasn't *AS* good as the first, but I loved it how they had Morgan Everett and Nicolette DuClare in it And the aliens!! I was expecting them to be bad ]Hmm...library huh? Never though of that, they might actually be of some use for a change! I'll have to check that out! Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
Np I went on an anime spree when I first discovered that they had them Watched GRave of the Fireflies (Grrr stupid movie), Full Metal Panic (GREAT show!!! ) and other misc ones. I also got out the How To Draw Manga books

BWAHAHA! No way! I hate the hot!!! ACT all the way!!!

Absolutely When do you turn 19?

O, and just for the record, I go for the blues in State of Origin

[CephasWhite]

ALL RIGHT! Another Aussie! Cools! *salutes with sword in front* Greetings fellow Christian warrior my name is Cephas and welcome to the boards, have fun and posts lots.

Don't be afraid to PM me if you have any questions, especially about Music comments or if you just want to talk.

Lots of love and God bless,
CephasVII

Take a look at my signature if you want.

Oh, by the way, I just have to ask this...did you ever meet Steve Irwin from Crocodile Hunter? That guy is so cool? "croiky"

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Welcome brother! It's cool to see another Aussie on board (we could always use some more). You won't have any problem making friends here, so post lots!
I know what you mean when you say its hard to watch anime regularly here, since you either have to buy it all or have pay tv (SBS barley ever screens anime). Like Talame said sometimes libraries have anime, but I've found they're a good place to start.

God Bless!

[Elric_kun]

[Ssjjvash]

Anyway, welcome to CAA. Enjoy your stay here and have some snack cakes. I got plenty to go around. I'll see ya' around the boards. later

[Rysing_Furi]

Greetings everyone! Nice to meet you all! And because you've been so nice to say g'day i'll let you's pm me any time you like, whether it be for a chat or a prayer request (one of my specialties you are more than welcome! And for a hilarious steve irwin impression, you've come for the right place as well...
"CRICKEY Look at that! Isn't that the most beauuuuuuuuuuuuutifuulllll thing you've ever seen!?!?!!? CROCS RUUUUUUUULE!!!!"

CephasVII - "Have you met steve irwin?" No I haven't been met steve irwin, but ive been to his reptile park, its pretty awesome!

Warrior 4 Jesus - Yeah SBS suck! I must have sent about....100 letters saying "please put more on" but I reckon they have that hotline posting board for nothing, then they read it an laugh like the evil men they are "MWAHAHAHAHAH" lololol.

P.S. Thanks for all of the Chocky treats by the way , although im a little puzzled as to what a "snack cake" is. Is it a cookie mixed with a cake or something? I wouldn't have a clue!!!!!

[CephasWhite]

"CRICKEY Look at that! Isn't that the most beauuuuuuuuuuuuutifuulllll thing you've ever seen!?!?!!? CROCS RUUUUUUUULE!!!!"

ROFL!!!!!!! That's GOLD!

"Have you met steve irwin?" No I haven't been met steve irwin, but ive been to his reptile park, its pretty awesome!

Cool! I've always wanted to go into his park and meet him, and I will someday...someday.

[Rysing_Furi]

Well its worth it mate, if you ever come to australia go the Brisbane, Queensland, thats where all the theme parks, nice beaches, steve irwin, japanese tourists, and the like are! But its awesome, just make sure you don't go when its tourist season, otherwise its gonna be packed with japanese tourists, steve irwin, and the like

[CephasWhite]

ROFL! Cool! I've bet you have seen the occasional Kangaroo now and then?

[Rysing_Furi]

Yup! I live on a nature preserve, so we get the occasional kangaroo, plate sized spiders etc hahahaha, no seriously, we do =).

[CephasWhite]

whoo...plate sized spiders...I bet your hoping they don't crawl into your house...*shutters*

[Rysing_Furi]

Unfortunately they do! Blimmin spiderman incarnate things as well, they always dodge my attacks with the broom/baseball bat

[Ingemar]

[quote="Rysing_Furi"]

Have you ever heard of Little Debbi (sp?) ? My family always calls 'em snack cakes. You know, Twinkies, Ho-Ho's, Nutty-Butty Bars, that kinda stuff.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

I don't think we have that kind of stuf in Australia!

[Rysing_Furi]

Nope, never heard of any of that. Mind you, america is full of unhealthy treats so im not surprised LOLOLOL JK! JK!

[Hephzibah]

I know what Twinkies are!!! (<= used to live in the States)
I feel special

[Rysing_Furi]

Yeah I know what twinkies are too lol. I also know what milk duds are, but wether they're made out of milk is another question LOL. Root beer I have no idea, but I heard it was really sweet (not sweet as in "man thats sweet" but sugar sweet lolol). Is that true?
