Graaagh Admin This user is an Administrator. Yep, I'm an admin here, as well as one of the main go-to people for wikicode issues (templates, DPL, etc.). I have a shoepuppet account, Dr Ishmael, that I sometimes use for testing stuff. I also have a bot account, Bot ishmael, used to perform Bot tasks and various maintenance duties as necessary. Credit The layout of this page and the basic design of the navigation tabs were inspired by User:Ereanor. Parts of the character template were inspired by Cavalier's and Lensor's templates. About me Tony, age 30 Location Conway, Arkansas Occupation(s) Solutions Developer - Sort of a jack-of-all-trades programmer. Delivery Expert - You give me a tip, or I feed your pizza to my cats. Icon Chicken. Not because I am a chicken, but because I command an army of chickens. Don't ask, it's a long story. I have been playing Guild Wars since my then-girlfriend (now wife) told me about it after the first Beta Weekend Event back in October 2004. The feature that hooked me was that it was free, but the reason I kept playing is because it's fun. I don't play as much anymore, but I still hop on for most special events (I'm also part of Nick's voluntary slave labor force). My wife Jink is the leader and I am an officer of a small RP guild called the Wind Riders [WIND]. In-game See the tabs to the left for articles on my characters, including background, armor, builds, titles, etc. /Progress - NM mission progression for all characters Event quest checklists: /Wintersday quest checklist and /Festival stuff Technical stuffs Yes, I know how to extract most textures and some text from Gw.dat. Click here to learn more. The best tool I've found for running multiple instances of GW is here. Works flawlessly with the new -character command-line switch, unlike the tool I'd been using previously. Randomness WORLD ORDER + PONIES Game over man. The world will now explode due to critical mass of love and tolerance. FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. WE ARE ONE. Californication "Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement." <-- That single lyric is probably the basis of my overall cynical state of mind. Also, awesome video. (It may look crappy now, but remember, this was made 11 years ago.) anim.o.v.e The band m.o.v.e (who continue to rank among my favorite artists) has been releasing an annual album of anime song covers and collaborations with other artists that are commonly involved with anime. Today they announced the third installment in this series, anim.o.v.e03, to be released in September, with a partial tracklist, so I went to check out the original versions of the songs. Then I did the same for the previous 2 albums (which I'd done before, just felt like doing again). Then I realized that I could create playlists on Grooveshark to compare the original to the cover, which I thought was spiffy. Then I figured I'd share them here since there are a few other anime fans around. anim.o.v.e01 Song Anime Artist Year Sousei no Aquarion Sousei no Aquarion AKINO 2005 Tamashii no Refrain Evangelion: Death & Rebirth Youko Takahashi 1997 Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi Gunslinger Girl -il Teatrino- KOKIA 2008 Gravity Lucky Start m.o.e.v 2007 Give a Reason Slayers NEXT Megumi Hayashibara 1996 God Knows... Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu Aya Hirano 2006 Ai, Oboeteimasu ka? Macross: Do You Remember Love? Mari Iijima 1984 Funny story here (that I just learned today) - the song "Gravity" is from the show Lucky Star, where it was an insert song for a scene that was a parody of Initial D. Since m.o.v.e has performed all the intros and most of the outros for Initial D (Extra Stage doesn't count >.>), "Gravity" was written in imitation of their style, with a male rapper, female vocalist, and a techno-ish music style. It's even listed as being performed by "m.o.e.v" on the compilation album. SOOOO... what we have here, is m.o.v.e covering a parody of themselves. And making it 9000 times more awesome. anim.o.v.e02 Song Anime Artist Year Itoshisa to Setsunasa to Kokoro Tsuyosa to Street Fighter 2 Ryoko Shinohara 1994 DREAMS Gundam X Romantic Mode 1996 Uninstall Bokurano Chiaki Ishikawa 2007 Shangri-La Soukyuu no Fafner Angela 2004 Zankoku na Tenshi no Teeze Neon Genesis Evangelion Youko Takahashi 1995 This album features a collaboration with Minami Takayama of Two-Mix; on anim.o.v.e 03, they covered Two-Mix's "Rhythm Emotion." anim.o.v.e03 Song Anime Artist Year Dogfight Initial D Fourth Stage m.o.v.e 2004 Rhythm Emotion Gundam Wing Two-Mix 1995 Winners Future GPX Cyber Formula G-Grip 1991 Naraku no Hana Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai Eiko Shimamiya 2007 Prism Dennou Coil Ayako Ikeda 2007 City Hunter ~Ai yo Kienai de~ City Hunter Kahoru Kohiruimaki 1987 Days Eureka 7 Flow 2005 Only My Railgun To Aru Kagaku no Railgun fripSide 2009 Hikari e One Piece The Babystars 2002 Futari ga Wasurenai Gunparade Orchestra Aki Misato 2005 (Yes, I am the same dr_ishmael who submitted the translated lyrics for both "Dogfight" and "Hikari e.") There are *10* covers on this album, including a re-recording of their own "Dogfight," with only 1 original song — a drastic change from the previous two volumes. "Days" and "Hikari e" are the first songs they've covered that were originally sung by male vocalists.
