I knew right from the start that the Shaolin Monk was going to win. We've always seen technique and speed overcome brute strength and power. I won't lie, I think the Maori Warrior was awesome (Natural weapons using stingray spines, hard stones, and shark toothed weapons), but there's many reasons why we know so much about the monks and why so many movies and shows (I.E. Avatar) are influenced by them.
I loved how much I was reminded of Jet from Avatar when they demonstrated the twin hooks. How precise they were, how the ends can be used as daggers, and how putting them together creates a 6-foot menace. The show did a great job in connecting the information.
If you haven't seen the Deadliest Warrior before, it's a pretty new show on Spike TV every Tuesday that features two warriors or factions (Apachi VS Gladiators, Green Beret VS Spetsnaz) fighting through facts and demonstrations from experts. The battles themselves aren't real, but they really make you think and contradict and discuss and all those other talking words. IT'S A KICKASS SHOW!!

Wow... uh... don't know what to say. Wazzup? Is anyone from the past still here? Lotta new people are at the Avatar forums, and I only recognized at least 2 of them in recent posts. I guess they moved on just like me.
Well, doesn't hurt to come back every half a year, lol. It's just when school and sports kick in is when you just CAN'T go online anymore to chat to the ol' buddies from the forums.
Here to say hi, and also here to say that if my dear Avatard brothers didn't give the show a 10,
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!
K, bye!

This is what we Avatards want the most now (besides the full Season 3 box set, the live action movies, and the possible ALL 3 SEASONS-IN-A-SINGLE-BOX-SET). We want that musical score released for us to hear. From action music to the funny moment music, it's all good.
Let's just say they did, and I had it. This means I can listen to every single piece of music thrown into the show, but what are my favorites of them? Well, many people love top lists, so I'll just think of them. I don't know the name of the songs, ao I'll just say when they used it.
-----------------------------------
Number 5: Iroh's Soldier Boy Song in "Tales of Ba Sing Se." No, not that rap song,but talk about touching and causing a tear. The song was one of the calm songs that brought a tear (at least mentally, no pun intended) if you understood the background to it. It was sung by Iroh to his dead son, which makes you sad already. THEN, we get the message saying "In Honor of Mako," which makes it even more wet with tears. It makes you think if the song was meant more for the son or Mako himself. Either way, it's very touching.
Number 4: The Full Version of the Intro Music. What a way to start the series. You have Katara narrating to us about the story, and while she does that, we get the first and one of the best musical scores of the show. Sadly, the full version didn't play for the rest of the intros, but that's what THIS MUSICAL SCORE WILL BE FOR!!
Number 3: The Headband's Band Song (hehehe... "band"). Many Kataangers remember this as the episode where Aang and Katara have a romantic dance. I am one, but I didn't think of it as romantic honestly. I thought it was very cool and neat since many dance "moves" are based off martial arts, especially break-dancing. Anyway, the music played had a very good beat and tune that made me enjoy the filler quite a lot. I did watch it on the internet (it was during the time when many episodes were airing in Canada first and then onto NickTurbo... I think), but that's what I remembered most of the episode. I'm serious. More than the cool Fire Nation school tour, more than Aang pwning the bully, more than Sokka's "Wang Fire" disguise, and even more than the dance. It was also used in "The Beach" at the party, and when the G (minus Aang, so we get "The G) find Jun in the building.
Number 2: Season 3 Finale Trailer (Both of Them). We Avatards had to survive in the dark for almost a whole freaking year until footage came from the '07 San Diego Comic-Con that was the Season 3 trailer. Of course, we crapped our pants just from the news. Then, the footage came on. It was epic, definitely, but the music was new, dramatic, and seemed to fit in any moment in the show. It sounded like a good theme for Zuko, but it turned into a drama/action music that I loved. The same musical score was used in the next season 3 trailer from New York Comic-Con '08. I think the beat was connected better to the first trailer, but who the hell cares when new footage is showing?!
Number 1: Series Finale Credits. I hum the beat of this less-than-a-minute musical almost all the time. I even hummed it while I was taking a test in Health class with one of the Avatard friends, but he didn't say anything. What's awesome is that I just love violins or anything similar to them, for they're always in the best and unique kinds of scores (The song Remember the Name + one of the best remixes to Halo's theme). What's sad is that you can hear the music saying "That's it. Thanks for watching and supporting us. This is what you get for watching this much." *sniff* Bryke left us a final epic score before the show was gone for good.
------------------------------------
Remember, this is MY list, so you can discuss and argue and flame and complain and poop all you want, but MY list stays the same. The point of the blog, however, is to try to get us fans to remember the good stuff of the show, and to encourage everyone to buy that musical score whenever it comes out.
Thanks for readin' mah blog.

P.S.
Hey, I liked making that list. I'll probably make more of people seem to like this list.

Today was my first day of school as a Sophomore. I only had 2 months of summer vacation this year (which EVERYONE thinks is BS), but I had a blast on the last month of the vacation. Suprisingly, the first day of school wasn't bad. I usually hate it and wish it'd never come, but this time, I didn't mind at all since it meant seeing a lot of my friends again. The most time I ever spent with any of them over the summer was through playing a couple of games on XBL.
I also got some good first-impression teachers. We all like those who aren't rule-lovers and think more like the students and have fun times, and luckily, 3 out of 7 were those kind. I also got one teacher I'm familiar with from last year, so that helps a bit.
Of course, the first day always has some of the most ridiculous moments in school life.
The first was when I was standing near the office while I carried a bunch of completed paperwork in an envelope to get into the school and get my schedule. Me and my sister are next, and then our vice principal asks us where is our mom. We said home, and he says that you needed a parent to be with you for this part. WHAT?!! ARE WE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STILL?!! WE'RE F***ING HIGH SCHOOLERS!!
Ahem...
Then the second was the one class that you hate because they make you work on the first day. This was expected, but I didn't expect to write a 4-paragraph essay that was due at the end of class and then given 2 assignments afterwards. Language Arts (ELA in my place) used to be a tough-but-enough course, now it's a "you're here, welcome to hell" course.
On a seperate note:
I can't list all the things I did in the last month on the same school blog, so I'll stop here. I might list them on another blog, IDK, I'll probably do it if I'm bored.
Thanks for readin' mah blog.

This summer's been the best for me. I get to go camping near a lake with my family for a week, spend a few days in Disneyland, stay with my Grandma (who lives 3 hours away from me) for a week, watch The Dark Knight and witness what a badass the Joker was, watch the finale to the best show I've ever seen, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I'm about to attend ID Tech Camp in Stanford, CA, and go on a cruise ship to Mexico before going back to see my friends in high school for my Sophmore year.
The only negatives are bad though; I haven't been in touch with any of you guys, even during the airing of the finale. I hope you guys don't think I've abandoned you guys. I wouldn't do that unless I tell you guys.

If I could rate the show Avatar, I'd rate it 100/100. It passes every show I've seen and loved, including the ones from my childhood, and showed that even Nickelodeon can have an epic show like Avatar. It also proved that a cartoon and tell such a great and touching story while being realistic in ways (EXAMPLE: kids acting like kids and not like the Terminator) and showing off badass fantasy action mixed with martial arts. Thank you Avatar crew for making my favorite, along with many other fans, show.
Now we test our anti-hiatus Avatar syndrome by surviving a few years for the live-action movies...
Thanks for readin' mah blog.

Has anyone heard of him? I think he should be a true and great internet celebrity that EVERYONE should know about (like Smosh from YouTube). He makes CGI videos that're usually epic fight videos from video games we've loved, played, or at least heard of. This includes Halo, Metroid Prime, and Final Fantasy. Here are two videos I found that were made by the great Monty Oum. They're pretty long, but trust me, you'll love these.
Haloid: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gHPUPqd0P9g (6:10)
Dead Fantasy Parts 1 & 2: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ryH1TB4gEUY (15:39)
I think he has another, but these two are my favorites.
Haloid shows Master Chief of Halo fight off the Covenant, but a new enemy appears and fights him, but something happens that forces them to work together.
Dead Fantasy shows the girls of Dead or Alive facing the girls of Final Fantasy (I don't know which. I think it was 12 or 13). The fight gets REALLY good near the end.
I hope you guys find out that this guy named Monty Oum is a brilliant video maker. Sure, some of the moves aren't exactly original, but they're still kick-ass.
Tancs fur reedin' mah bl0g!1!

Yeah, I don't know what to call this blog, lol. A couple of stuff I'd just like to say.
1. I didn't make a blog about the new and kickass Avatar trailer because I knew people did it before me and stuff. But I am so PSYCHED for this!! I really want to see the flying warships again, the Suki and Ty Lee fight, even crazier Azula, and, of course, the finale of finales! I feel VERY bad for any Avatar fan that'll have to miss this baby.
2. My dad's birthday was yesterday, so now he's 41. Haha, last year, we, my family, were teasing him for turning 4 decades old by saying all the things like "you're a year closer to using a cane" and stuff. This year, however, a simple "happy b-day!" was enough.

3. I saw Windtalkers earlier today on DVD and plan on watching Alvin & The Chipmunks for the first time after I finish this blog. Windtalkers is a great war/action movie involving things in World War II that I never knew (using Native American language codes against the Japanese). So if you like war movies, this is a must-see. It's not like it came out last year, but hey, I loved it.
4. Man, oh man, an odd twist happened for my FanFics' reviewing on FF.net. Last time, my A:tLA FF was getting all the reviews (it has a total of 91 now) and all the others were hardly getting any hits. Now, I have a Halo FF that's getting OK hits and few reviews while the other and new Avatar FF has fewer hits and fewer reviews, which is odd since my Halo fic only has 4 chapters and my Avatar one has 7.
5. If you love parodies and funny videos by an actual good actor that isn't Smosh or Angry Video Game Nerd (both are awesome, I know), I encourage y'all to check out:
http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/
This website has ThatGuyWithTheGlasses as the main guy and he does the ...in 5 seconds movies and The Nostalgia Critic review videos that review the bad movies (like Angry Video Game Nerd with video games). The 5 second videos aren't 5 seconds, but the point is that you get the idea that it sums up the movie (in a way) and most will make you lol. The critic vids review bad movies that usually we enjoyed as kids (if you're between 13-17) such as Space Jam and Pokemon: The First Movie. They prove how bad those movies actually were and makes fun of them. He even sometimes makes fun of good or ok films like Cloverfield recreating the film with his hand-held camera.
Seriously, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for readin' mah blog!

After many, many months, I finally updated my MySpace, though it still isn't as pimped out as most out there. All I added was a new cover photo, my "About Me" info, and a music playlist. So... uh... yeah... wazzup?

I did hear about the Avatar news mentioned here and on DeviantART. Honestly, I think it sounds too good to be true. I'm trying not to get my hopes up that much in case it was all a late April Fool's joke or another Rick Roll set-up. Still, a part of me is still REALLY excited for this.
If you don't know about the news I'm talking about, look on this site. I'm sure you'll find it.

Thanks for readin'!

I tried to post some Halo 3 screenshots, but the stupid thing can't read the "HTML" from PhotoBucket.

BOO-YAH!! Avatar: The Last Airbender beat The Simpsons, Ed Edd n' Eddy, and best of all, Spongebob Squarepants. They didn't make a big deal about it, but I cheered when I saw the bottom of the screen saying:
Favorite Cartoon:
Avatar
We, the fandom, have proven that we can unite and make things happen. People had doubt about Nickelodeon making SBSP win, but they were honest, and it has won. Thank you all that have voted for Avatar, and to all those who thought SBSP would win without a doubt, IN YO FACES!!

I honestly don't give a s*** if this has been done already on the site; I'm just spreading the word to all Avatards out there! Spongebob Squarepants has been winning over and over because of the brainwashed kids voting for it and that Nick just hasn't had Avatar: The Last Airbender never up there (WTF?).
Do you guys remember TV.com's own voting for Best of 2007? Remember who got in second? Avatar did win 1st (WOO-HOO!), but second was a show I never heard of (was it called Metalocalypse?) because the fandom was alerted and it almost beat our favorite show or one of the favorites.
Now I'm helping to spread out to the fandom of the Avatar community that in the 2008 KCA, we must hear that our show has ended SBSP's so-called "winning streak". It'll be awesome to see that and know, it's thanks to me; it's thanks to us. Plus, I want to see Bryan and/or Mike get the award for the show (or a voice actor. Girls are praying for Dante Basco and/or Jack DeSanna right now, lol).
A link to the voting area:
I don't know if you can vote for only one thing and just submit, but you might as well vote for other choices for the helluv it. Here are my usual choices:
1. Drake and Josh and iCarly. Both funny shows.

2. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? It makes all of us feel dumb and happy on the inside. Plus, you gotts love it when the host actually calls one of the contestants a "redneck".
3. Josh Peck. To me, he's funnier than Drake Bell, and I think Drake won last year, so Josh should get some fame huh?
4. Anyone but Jamie Lynn Spears. I'm not against the family, but I think she's a bad actress. Even my mom could tell after watching her act for a few seconds when my brother (yes, my brother) was watching it.
5. Avatar: The Last Airbender. If this isn't your choice, please choose Ed, Edd and Eddy or The Simpsons. Both are much better and funnier shows than SBSP and you know it.
6. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The story was very confusing, but still some of my favorite action and comedy I've seen in a long time from Disney. Also, you gotta love Captain Jack Sparrow, Savvy?
7. Johnny Depp. Period.
8. Jessica Alba. She's only my favorite 'cause she's hot. You against it and hate me for that? Sue me.
9. Ratatouille. I've actually never seen the movies, but everyone says it's as good as the other Pixar movies (which I love), so it gets my vote.
10. Eddie Murphy. Just the funny guy of the movie. But seriously, 3/4 choices were from Shrek. WTF?
11. Linkin Park. I like some songs from this group. I never heard of the 1st 2 choices (no offense to those who like them), and honestly, I dislike the 3rd choice a LOT. Opposite of the kind of music I like. Uuuggghhh...
12. Random. I don't care, but I think I voted for Cris Brown the most out of the 5 times so far.
13. Alicia Keys. My mom loves her, so she gets my vote, lol.
14. Don't Matter. I like this song; it can calm me down. Plus, it's just a damn good song.
15. Tony Hawk. Come on, you can't be cooler than him by just being yourself.
16. Serena Williams. Why? 1. She's an awesome tennis player. 2. She complimented Bryan and Sifu Kisu when she saw them practice. 3. She voiced a character in an episode of Avatar as a guest star. 4. She likes the show!
17. Harry Potter series. I like to read them, though I still haven't finished the 7th book. I already know what happens to who thanks to my spoiling friends at high school, lol.
18. Guiter Hero III. One of the most addicting games I've played next to Halo. But why TF is High School Musical on this? I thought that was friggin' movie only. They could've replaced it with Super Mario Galaxy or some real game that isn't rated M.
Once again, VOTE FOR AVATAR!!
TMT
P.S.
VICTORY TO THE AVATAR!!!

I'm thinking of what I should get since I've been saving money by babysitting (not by switching to Geico), but I don't know what to choose.
I've been dying to play Super Smash Brothers: Brawl ever since the first video for it came out on the show X-Play. Two problems for this: 1. It isn't out yet in the USA 2. I don't even have a Nintendo Wii.
The first choice is getting a Wii and SSB:B with my money, but will buying that one game be worth it?
The second choice is simple; just getting a couple of games for the Xbox 360 like Mass Effect (take that Fox News; I'm still gonna get the game!) and Call of Duty 4 (I have th PS3 version, but all of my buddies are on Xbox LIVE).
It's harder to choose since I don't babysit often, so it makes saving the money crucial.
So what should I do? Get a Wii and SSB:B when it releases, or get some good 360 games? This is actually hard for me since SSB:B is like a dream FanFic (if you think about it) for all classic and regular gamers, and plus, it has everything that we wished SSB:Melee had (minus the loss of a few fav characters like Roy). I seriously think getting SSB:B over more games or vice-versa by vote by my friends is what I should do.
So what should I do?
TMT
P.S.
If you have Xbox LIVE for the 360 too, you can add me, DaMentalTeen44. Yes, I like my mental screenames.

Ok, all of you forum posters (at least from the Avatar section) know about the "in before the lock" post we do in a thread that's an obvious duplicate or unrelated to anything like it? Well, I did that for the first time ever in a n00b thread and posted it for the first time.
The next day, I have a message from the moderators saying that I was suspended for 2 days for "disruptive posting".
The thread was actually deleted, so why bother even suspending me. And if that's against the rules to actually post the inside joke (Trademark of TV.com
), why punish the people who posted in there if the thread was taken down anyway? WTF?!Was anyone else suspended for doing the in before the lock post joke? Because I never knew that (lv.11 with over 3,000 posts and didn't know that
).Since I got that off my back, WAZZUP?! I'm back now, so I guess I'll post every now and then like I used to do in the Avatar forums.

Wow, now THAT was a historic game.
The New England Patriots, being 18-0 before the Super Bowl, were expecting a one-sided game, and so was everyone else. Despite all the media saying the Patriots and fans saying they were going to win, it was a Giant upset and the winners of Super Bowl XLII were the New York Giants. The score was 17-14.
Once again, congratulations to the New York Giants for ruining the dreams of the Patriots for going for a perfect 19-0 by making them 18-1.
And on personal issues, I'll say this:
You deserved that loss Randy Moss! In yo face!
I hate the guy; since I'm a Raiders fan (yeah, so I am; sue me), I know that Randy Moss was expected to turn around the Raider offense by providing his mad skillz. Instead, he doesn't try, and when he was with the Patriots, he beats Jerry Rice's old record for most TD's and everything (JR had fewer games, so he still had a higer TD-per-game average).
Again again, conrats to the New York Giants!!

A couple of things:
1. The whole Mass Effect deal is over, ending with the person who wrote the lying book apologizing to all gamers out there for not understanding everything. That saved her ass, now all we need is for Jack Thompson is to do that.
2. I found probably the best Avatar AMV on YouTube. The song is called We're All to Blame by my favorite band, Sum 41. The best parts are that it focuses on ALL characters and has footage up to 312 (it was made on Dec. 27, 2007). Here's the link:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=jlKdnh4GU-U
3. Two of my favorite machinimas (online videos acted from games, such as Red vs Blue) called The Leet World and Deus Ex Machina had new episodes today. Both were either really funny (tLW) or very dramatic and action-y (DEM).

4. Boy, I now have 3 FanFics I'm working on at once. The newest one I made was about 1 or 2 weeks ago called Halo Future: Vitual Reality about players a hundred years in the future playing Halo Future that's virtual reality. It's rated M for language and some offensive jokes. It already has 4 different reviewers after posting 2 chapters at the same time (kinda like an hour-long pilot for a 30-minute show), so that's a good start.
5. My dad opened his brand new restaurant about 10 minutes ago (5:00 P.M. PST). It's an Italian Grill (Italian and American food) about a half-hour from where I live. If this goes real successful, he might open even more and more and soon become stankin' rich. It also gives me a job in the summer, as well as a free place to eat (my dad and former-neighbor are the owners).
I'd show the page on the internet where the news said it (local paper), but it would show my last name + close where I live, so I can't. Plus, I don't know if local news sites work around the world, but then again, it's "t3h int3rn3t3!".
Thanks for readin'!

Haters are people that hate things and curse people so much that they hope they turn emo. N00bs are those who think they know everything, but they have no idea what they're talking about.
I left a comment on a YouTube video that was about the whole Mass Effect thing going on (see last blog of mine). Here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBTh1xy5XAI
I left this comment:
"You tell them Adam. Fox is so hypocritical in saying that they're posting graphic sex scenes in Mass Effect, but they fail to say that Family Guy and South Park are the same. All they say is "viewer discretion is advised". I hope EA eventually sues them." - thementalteen
Then this guy decides to comment on my own comment and acts like a Hater AND a N00b (the worst combination ever). He left this under mine:
"South Park isn't a Fox program, so you're a god**** liar and a hypocrite and you should kill yourself for your transgression." - TheOnlyNameLeft (I censored the bad word)
For those who don't know, South Park isn't a Fox program, but I never said it was. Plus, South Park does, in fact, air on Fox. So he's the N00b, the liar, AND the Hater.
I left a comment back at him, but I would rather not post it, for I let some of my rage on him.
Jesus, why is the world so screwed?
Thanks for reading.

*THOSE UNCOMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING SEXUALLY MIGHT GET DISTURBED A BIT. TRUST ME THOUGH, IT AIN'T BAD*
Fox has made a new issue saying that the video game called Mass Effect is too much. They say that it displays full-nudity, grahpic sex scenes, and therefore should be rated AO (Adults Only). They also say that the game is being sold to kids and teenagers. This is where every gamer says this to them:
"WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!"
------------------------
I seriously think that Fox news is being run by monkeys trained by Jack Thompson (look him up on Wiki if you don't know about him). Here's why I think that:
1. IT'S RATED FRIGGIN' "M" FOR "MATURE" ON THE DAMN BOX!!! It even says on the back WHY it's rated M.
2. They completely overreact to the whole thing. They say it contains full nudity and graphic sex scenes. Hold your horses! The worse they show is the skin of them being naked (as seen in PG-13 movies +/ shows), a side-boob (same), and the butt (same), but nothing more. And the scene itself is NOTHING. It shows the body of the gal (bare skin, side-boob, and butt) crawling to the man, but the camera pulls up to the faces. It turns black. They show the face of one of them up close (being happy), and it's over.
DOES THAT SOUND "GRAPHIC" AND "ADULT-ONLY" TO YOU?!!!?!
3. You must accept the facts that kids and teenagers DO, in fact, buy M games. But that's because of:
-A: They're parents are ignorant.
-B: They're parents actually look at the back of the box and see if they approve.
-C: The parents are the ones playing the damn game.
Also, the kid isn't gonna suddenly sneak onto the console, turn it on, play the game for several hours until he can get to the 7-second PG-13 sex scene. "ZOMFG he saw PG-13 animated porn! Such a perverted sinner! SMITE AND GROUND THEE!!" I so bad want to cuss so bad, but I'm trying to calm myself from such stupidity.
4. Why are they concerned of this over the other games that actually have full-displayed nudity, and even sometimes sexual content? I remember reading EGM (Electronic Game Magazine) showing games like Playboy Mansion, The Guy Game, and Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball being released. Those games all show nudity (I think DoA doesn't, but it does at least contain really explicit bikinis), and the first one contains full-on sexual content (uncensored and everything Fox said Mass Effect had). Why don'e they complain about the games that even gamers will admit that are a bit too much and should be rated AO instead of M.
5. The issue is so overreacted upon that some gamers are now jokingly requesting that they actually make a Mass Effect with the content said in the news. Thanks Fox, rather than try to prevent us from buying it, you made the gamers request a re-make of it that should ACTUALLY be rated AO.
6. Isn't Fox being a bunch of hypocrites? They're saying they can't show this kind of content, but what about Fox's own shows?! Family Guy, South Park, all of those night shows have more stuff than everything Mass Effect has! Have you seen one of those scenes on SP?! They actually show the animated nudity and the animated sexual content. Complain about that kind of crap before trying to de-mote a game with a 7-second PG-13 sex scene.
------------------------
The whole thing is just another reason for to me to never watch the news. Only when something ACTUALLY happens (a team winning a super bowl, someone's death, etc.), I'll read the 1-line summary on Yahoo! and go on. If this is the direction the country is going towards, then we're seriously f***ed. Sorry for my language, but being a gamer and someone who actually knows from right and wrong, I'm just ticked.

PS
To add to the stupidity of all of this, they admit they didn't even play the game before.

In the commentary for episode 310 on the DVD has revealed a statement about the kiss in the episode. I'm no Zutarian, but the people commenting (Mike and Bryan are included) said that the look Katara made after it was "ambiguous". Look it up if you want, but since it's one of my vocabulary words this year in school, I know what it means.
Ambiguous: uncertain; more than one option.
They were pros too when it came to explaining the situation too. They used the words "Kataang" and "shipping" in it, so they know what they're talking about. They mentioned that the fandom is split in their eyes of Kataang and Zutara fans. They did say that the kiss happened, but the look was "ambiguous".
Zutara Fan Response: WOO-HOO!! ZUTARA 4-EVA!! I knew it wasn't dead!
Kataang Fan Response: BOO!! They're just making sure they don't lose their other 50% of the fandom. KATAANG 4-EVA!!
*ahem*
To all shipper fans, Bryan or Mike (I can't tell the voice difference very well) did complement saying that all of the shippers are "tenacious... and fierce!" I'll give anyone a cyber cookie if they put that in their sig for the rest of the season like this:
"A Shipper: "Tenacious... and fierce!"
That way, I'll know that I helped spread his compliment.

I'm still watching the commentary though. Maybe a bit more will be slipped during it? I don't know. So far, no other spoilers have been slipped in the commentary. They did mention though that they were lucky to be able to use the poop jokes (in 306), and that one of their favorite moments was at the end of 306 when Katara told Sokka just to hold hands and he did so after several seconds and quickly. Although I was wondering how they do these high and low pitched voices during the commentary (they did at the very beginning, and I thought the DVD was broken for a second
), does anyone know how to do that without speeding up or slowing down something recorded?Oh well, thanks for reading the update.
And another thing, in my eyes, THE SHIPPING WARS ARE REACHING THE CLIMAX, NOT GOING DOWNHILL!!

I just decided to say that I finally reviewed the show Naruto. I made it have a whopping 500+ words, lol.
Just thought I'd let y'all know.
