List of your favorite quotes

I'll admit that Gundam Wing was by far the worst thing I can recall watching, but I don't like Gundam in general. There was at least one older Gundam that was OK for a while, but they all eventually come down some of the same. I can't watch any of it dubbed, because the only dubs I've seen for it are bad. Although I prefer good subs anyway, because you retain the original meaning better, and even the best dubs can't always do that.

(I swear I didn't mean to hijack the thread, but he was quoting Gundam en masse AGAIN)

why is it they with stretch a battle across like 800 episodes... i literally watched an episode where some punk little kid sat oggling his dad or some shit while his dad would sweat and THINK about his next move to use on some purple shit head floating in the air. NO FIGHTING, just them floating around and the narrator saying shit like "will so and so use thisandthat on soandso"

The story I keep hearing is that the anime guys would keep catching up to Toriyama's manga, and whenever that happened they'd have no new story to work with but still had to produce an episode...

[Cloud121]

yeah it may be good, but is it good enough to blow all my money on several DVD's or set a plan out to be home at a certain time to catch it on cartoonnetwork or whatever channel its on and stick to that plan so I don't miss a show?

Yep.

"You know,it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."

"Why, what did she tell you?"

"I don't know, I didn't listen"



"then I decided that I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. I kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonic"

"My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre and that I am therefore excused from saving universes."



"Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of"



"And causing severe brain damage to anyone higher up the evolutionery ladder than a demented bee"

There are lot more great quotes from the hitchhiker's guide to universe, but I most sleep now

Cloud: One question; why is it these quotes are your favorite? Is there some deep meaning to them? I am a superficial asshole, but I usually would only register a quote to my memory if either: A; it's a witty comment that matches the topic at that moment, or B; a short and simple phrase that sums up a large topic simply in a few words.

Your two quotes there are neither deep nor do they have anything to do with real people in general. Especially that second quote, what is it saying? It's not saying much, except maybe that you shouldn't fight when you have deep bias feelings for that person because you make take it to far. (i.e. revenge, love, hoopla fuggha bubba)

Quotes from Gundam are as contrived as it's plot!

 

[Cloud121]

I just like all those quotes.

Why is it everyone must question that?

I don't "live by them" or any of that nonsense, I just like 'em.

Notice how the topic title is "List of Favorite"?

 

[Pearl Jammzz]

should change it to "BIG list of favorites" the under it "mostly clouds..."

The INTERCAL programming language was designed the morning of May 26, 1972 by Donald R. Woods and James M. Lyon, at Princeton University. Exactly when in the morning will become apparent in the course of this manual.

INTERCAL's main advantage over other programming languages is its strict simplicity. It has few capabilities, and thus there are few restrictions to be kept in mind. Since it is an exceedingly easy language to learn, one might expect it would be a good language for initiating novice programmers. Perhaps surprising, then, is the fact that it would be more likely to initiate a novice into a search for another line of work.

It is a well-known and oft-demonstrated fact that a person whose work is incomprehensible is held in high esteem. For example, if one were to state that the simplest way to store a value of 65536 in a 32-bit INTERCAL variable is:

DO :1 <- #0$#256

any sensible programmer would say that that was absurd. Since this is indeed the simplest method, the programmer would be made to look foolish in front of his boss, who would of course happened to turn up, as bosses are wont to do. The effect would be no less devastating for the programmer having been correct.

Hey, RolfWrenWalsh, I agree with you. Gundam SEED is great. And those quotes are as well. To me, they are the only ones here (together with the Phantasy Star 2 ones) which really are deep.

tacky bullshit story line to force feed down your throat just to get all your money.

No, thats hollywood movies. I have noticed that I cannot watch standard hollywood-movies anymore. The action-movies have become comedies because they are so silly...

I will turn to GOOD movies or novels for an actual inspiring piece of work.

Could you tell us what good movies is?

As for the topic, here are some more neat quotes :

"If you aren't remembered, then you never existed. Arisu (Serial Experiments Lain)"
