My new favorite site.

[Jack]

I found this about a week ago. I'm going to look very unoriginal in a few days. =|

[Alura]

This is awesome.

[Jonathan Meer]

Yes it is.

Voytek is my fav so far.

Did not see that.

This site is pure win.

[Alura]

This is the most complete list of people who matter I have ever seen.

Michael Wittman, Charles XII, Justinian II.
Hell yes.

[Pinky]

This site has a link to the complete translated text of the Book of Five Rings. All else is secondary to this fact.

[Jack]

Lemmy Kilminster is a dead link.

Fuck that site.

EDIT: "Bruce Lee died suddenly one night when he was simultaneously poisoned by the CIA, the FBI, the Japanese Government, the American Mafia, Communist China, Fidel Castro, the Motion Picture Association of America, Chuck Norris and Sammo Hung. "

XD!

EDTI2: "Blackbeard was also freaking crazy. When one of his men doubted his meanness, Blackbeard shot his first mate just to prove how badass he was. One time he took his entire crew below deck and light a huge brimstone fire to see who could take being cooped up with all the smoke the longest. Blackbeard won."

Holy shit. Blackbeard was a pimp.

[Super Buu]

I just read the one on Nikola Tesla, and I think I am going to agree with everyone else's sentiments.

[Ashe]

ROFL.

Inigo Montoya!

[Ashe]

Paul fucking Atreides.

EDIT: Holy shit, this Paul article is fucking hilarious, and totally true. Dune is a badass book, and yeah, this is totally correct.

[Szar]

Hey guys! I think this is retarded, and tries too hard to be funny.

[Vad]

Paul fucking Atreides.

Reijin you have become a god among gods for that statement. =O

EDIT: That movement thing he was talking about is called the Bene Gesserit way. =D [U][/U][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28novel%29#Bene_Gesserit"]

OMG LINK MEH!

This dude should see the newer Dune movies. Children of Dune (the merger of the named book and Dune Messiah) was pretty badass, and actually better than the first to watch. The actual Dune movie, while good, is like the book, quite... up there on the difficulty curve. I love the book, but the wording usage makes it something you have to convince someone to keep reading.

"My skin is not my own..."

You do realize that most of what I modeled Mercy after was a mix of Arrakis and Tatooine, right? That's why I shit myself when Becca made the image of it the way she did, all that reddish shit looks like a fucking spice field in the games (which I have a lot of, even if I don't play them).

The Mershikali that it mentions in the description? Largely inspired by Fremen.

Oh yeah, I know what it is. He was effectively engineered to be Jesus 2000.

EDIT: And the name "Muad'Dib" which they mention what it means to the Fremen, originates more from a type of sand mouse in the planet, if I recall, who basically survives so well that it is at the top of the food chain.

Stillsuits man, I fucking want one.

Children of Dune was quite literally completely awesome. I sat on the edge of my seat through it ALL. His son becoming the worm. His daughter being haunted by the baron. >.> Might have subconciously grabbed that for Vad.

I've read parts of the book. You just got me motivated to read it from beginning to end thoroughly. ^_^ Yeah, best story I've ever heard.

The scene in the first movie that he talked about. The Paul he posted which is now playing a role in Desperate Housewives. The Water of Life scene always chokes me. The music, his memories.

"The Sleeper has awakened!" Always will choke me up. =D "LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!"

EDIT: Fuck my typing right now. seriously. Typos =(

[Jack]

Interesting, because I planned to roleplay a giant underground worm at some point.
