And this is why I weep for my generation. Just a bunch of people listening to whatever the radio tells them to and next to nobody's ever heard of any real music. :I Also vampire novels much? So yeah.

The irony here is ridiculous.

Ah, The Hunger Games. One of the best books i've ever read, and that's saying something, because I read a fair bit. I'm just hoping they don't butcher the movie too badly.

@Nova - I have reviewed Jovan's Test.

@Neelh - I have reviewed The Requiem.

I had to read this four times before I understood what you were saying.

The material used to make the what costs half as much as the sides?

J.R.R. Tolkien didn't just write books: he created a world. A world populated by many diverse species, each with their own language and culture. The characters you have pointed out are well-known throughout this world, so each culture knows of them, but why would they call them by one name?

The elves are as different from the dwarves as you can get, and the men of Rohan and Gondor are very different culturally despite being of the same race. So why would they all call someone the same thing?

These names signify different events and places. Gandalf's name changes depending on where he is and who he is with. The men and elves, being entirely different races and having completely different cultures, would not know Gandalf by the same name. If they did, that would be ignoring their cultural and linguistic differences.

Side note: calling out Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White as different names for the same person is a ridiculous argument. Technically speaking, they are two different people, and anyway, calling Gandalf gray when he wears white makes no sense, so of course his name would change.

EDIT: To support my argument, I've looked up the name 'John' on Wikipedia. Here's an excerpt from a list of names that John is replaced by in other languages:

English ---------- John, Ewan, Shawn, Johnny, Jack, Ian, Evan

Esperanto ---------- Johano

Estonian ---------- Jaan, Juhan, Juho, Janno, Jukk, Hannes, Hans

Extremaduran ---------- Huan

Faroese ---------- Jógvan

Filipino ---------- Juan

Finnish ---------- Hannes, Hannu, Jani, Janne, Johannes, Juha, Juho, Juhani

French ---------- Jean, Jehan (outdated)

Galician ---------- Xoán, Xan

It's the same name, but different cultures and languages have replaced it with their own versions.

I've heard so much positive feedback about this show that I'm rather inclined to watch in when I find the time.

EDIT: Watched the intro to the pilot episode. My heart has been captured.

I'm Not Real.

Looks pretty good! He's leaning a little far to the right, but I like the style.

Very well done! I almost feel like I could learn to speak Matoran.

Actually, if you review every short story I've written this year, I'll review Wings.

Join the BZPRPG.

I'll leave a review for the next five chapters.

I smile often.

And they said it would turn out just like every other year.

 

Who? I haven't come across any. Even I, a Hawks fan--haven't said that. No more Big Buff, so Luongo can see. Our goaltending is our greatest strength currently, with a Calder Trophy candidate who can make terrific saves on a 2 on Nobody breakaway by the last two Hart Trophy winners. He absolutely stoned the twins yesterday.

I've met many people that don't like the Canucks because they perform well throughout the season, then crash in the playoffs and get knocked out (talking mostly about the last two years). To them, my insistence that this year is different sounds like the ravings of a diehard fan, especially when the circumstances look the same (basically, Chicago in the first round).

The next layer will be people advising themselves to enjoy the game because you've implanted the idea in their subconsciousnesses.

Wow, that's amazing! Your art is really something; I'd like to see some closeups.

I had to watch it six times before I got it.

Wow, these all look incredible! I especially like the first one: I'm a sucker for cities and highways lit up at night.

Bohrok overload ._.

Woo! Congratulations!

oh no. in a line is back... in the blogs.

4/5

I can make my eyes jiggle.

Wow, I feel honoured to be mentioned. It's been fun RPing with you, Mef. I hope you'll drop by every now and then, and maybe start up again when you're not so busy.

It has been a lot of fun, though.

*doughnut.

I'm gonna do this sometime. It sounds like a fun way to spread the love around.

Lol, I almost almost edited that word's spelling as well, but I figured I should leave it as the original poster had typed it.

-Nukaya

Are you kidding? The ending made no sense whatsoever. Like, what was with those words on the screen telling you who made the movie? What did that have to do with the plot?

That confused me too. :S I couldn't remember them all.
