I wouldn't really say I could prefer one over the other as I appreciate each for different things. With the films ,I think Alan Rickman's portrayal of Snape is simply fantastic, yet the scripts in the later movies kind of let down the general story and some of the characterisation. However, the books add a lot more depth to the sort of sideplots/minor characters which I feel the movies tend to ignore such as the Marauders, Peeves and Voldemort's history, as the movies try quite hard to please a specific audience. That said, both of them in their own way create a fantastic magical world which I very much enjoy getting stuck into .

Naruto hands down !! I've never really gotten in to DBZ.. but I've always got the impression Naruto covers a wider variety of topics, especially as it progresses into part 2.

gfletch09 : Thanks for your reply, I tried loading it offline/online to see if it made a difference, I also tried on a different computer to see if that made a difference but still no luck !

ignavusd : Oooh :O Do you know where you can go into old saves or that at all :O? &yeah total pain isn't it! I lost about 3 badges I think and a couple of evolutions on top of the rare pokemon! Really annoying!

Heyo! Have mentioned this problem in related threads and eagerly waited for at least a week and a half, a reply that would enlighten me about this problem!
Was happily playing Pokemon Emerald and I would save regularly and they would load up fine, until one day, my latest save didn't load. And instead, it loaded up an earlier save meaning that I lost about 6-8 hours of progress! It also didn't load up the previous save, but loaded up about like 5 saves back at least.. So.. I don't really fancy backtracking that far and especially if this problem may occur again.. I had also tried the next day, and the next, and the next to see if it would load up the correct saved state but it didn't -it just kept loading up the same saved state ages before.. I'm also extra keen to possibly get my latest saved state back as I caught a rare pokemon on the first time going into it's wee area haha! So is there a reason why I lost my save(s)? &Is it possible to get it back?
Many thanks in advance!

Lololol I was the worst for that. Would make a start and then think "right can just forget about it now" and be rushing on the final night stayingup late etc. Still am in general really bad for leaving things until the last minute haha xD

Not gonna lie, I love puffing away! Which is the main part of addiction.. Like it too much to give it up hehe. I'm not one for saying though that I do it cause it's "cool" nor do I think it looks "cool". Fact is, my mum's a heavy smoker and I started smoking after just having the odd drag when I was drunk and it gradually escalated into a proper addiction.. But yeah it's hard to describe -why- I like it, just really nice after a meal, when I get up, waiting around for someone etc.

Hahah I was discussing with my bf the excitement of when I was at primary school where I loved doing the school shop before the new term in August and picking my new lunchbox and school bag, the gym shoes everyone wore and getting new sets of pens and pencils lol!! Other things which bring me back to my childhood : Pokemon (games and on the telly), when a Gameboy Colour and a PS1 were all the rage, the old 10p sweeties and crisps, penny chews - People from the UK will get what I mean with the last two. Ermm what else.. TV shows like: Arthur, Totally Spies, The Wild Thornburries, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, Teletubbies, Jackie Chan and the talismans ahaha !

Ellert : As much as I agree with you when it comes to fillers, and I hate them as well, we do kinda need them because otherwise we'd be faced with like one anime episode a month because it'd catch up too quick with the manga. Or it only becoming a seasonal thing.. which would be gutting haha.

I've had this exact same problem with Pokemon Emerald, it is a real pain like. I posted a long comment about it as well about a week ago on the saving progress thingy a bit above but I've not had a reply :/ Really annoying.. Cause I'm rather keen to resume gameplay but I don't fancy doing some backtrack where I may able to find out I could get my old saved state back :/

Old Cartoon Network! Although I didn't even watch it much then but yeah I loved watching the ancient Scooby Doo movies when I did haha.

My favourite ongoing manga is definitely Naruto! I'ts getting so fast paced and all the characters have came so far now haha, it's really exciting, been constantly checking for the latest chapter which should be up by now, but isn't!
Other manga I've really liked /plan to go back to are: Elfen Lied (so much better than the anime but will make you want to cry, Sooo sad!), Fairy Tail, Loveless and Bleach

I have to agree with Ellert! Ling Xiaoyu with her graceful fighting style is my favourite and the one which has stuck with me in the Tekken games! I love Tekken haha and I first played the 3rd and had picked her on the demo when it first came out. I've also enjoyed how the only difference (apart from costume changes) with Ling Xiaoyu now compared to Tekken 3 is speed improvement to keep with the times. I've also got an unfinished costume of hers at the moment as well haha, I love that character!

Lol I don't think many people will have much similar music taste to mine judging by what I've read so far..! I like dance, drum and bass, dubstep, chillout trance, eletronica and pop the most >.< There's just so much variation to it hehe. I do also like J-rock though and J-tek, the only genres I can't stand are death metal, screamo or country. Some of the bands/artists I like are: Boom Boom Satellites, Nightmare, Naibu, Mt Eden, Spheresounds, Chicane, Crystal Castles, High Contract, Infected Mushroom, Eddie Rath and Lykke Li

Hi, I've been playing Pokemon Emerald (GBA), and had been saving successfully for a number of days now, I save regularly and always check it's been saved by pressing F4 just to make sure. For some reason, last night I went to play it again to find that I've lost quite a chunk of the stuff I'd done :/. It wasn't like it had gone to just the previous save before the save that was lost, but like it had gone like 10 saves back... Was just wondering why this is? Is there a way to prevent this? + Is there any way to salvage my lost game progress..? Thanks.

My favourite game would have to be Dynasty Warriors 5/6, but I feel like my very, very, close and dear favourites should also be mentioned and they are..: Star Wars KOTOR, Super Mario World, Tekken 3 and Pokemon Crystal !

I like to collect loads of things xD
First things I collect are..scarves ! All kinds.. All different colours, patterns, fabrics etc!
I also like to collect Star Wars stuff! I have loads of figures, magazines, posters, cups, t-shirts, etc!
I collect Dynasty Warriors and all the other games which go with it e.g Samurai Warriors, Dynasty Tactics and that !
I also like to collect anything Oriental e.g fans, parasols, dresses, etc etc!
I have also in the past collected Pokemon cards, different kind of play sets, nail varnishes, stamps and stuff xD!
And when I hopefully get some more money I shall resume collecting more Naruto stuff and Harry Potter stuff, what am I like xD!

Hmmmm..! My top 5 animes would have to be..!
1- Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden for definite haha! I also religously follow the manga haha.
2- Loveless would probably be my second. I really like the character Soubi and the music.
3- Kaikan Phrase (aka Sensual Phrase), it's an ancient anime that I've yet to meet another person who's heard of it! It's sooo good haha!
4- Probably.. Elfen Lied! Althogh I much prefer the manga!
5- Deathnote !

Thank you both for a warm welcome to Vizzed !

If anyone read MrPurple's post earlier about a dog named Seamus and a Blood-Red Corn called Cissy, they're my pets haha! Well, the dog is my mum's and his quirks and sickness have been listed xD Cissy's quirks.. Well her licks to people's noses is when you go to her like "kiss" and she goes up and licks your nose. Really cute . She also has a little adventure streak in her and recently escaped and ending up in the neighbour's bathroom coiled around the top of their mop bucket. Since her little bid for freedom, she seems to have become slightly more wild but she knew when to sit still on my hand if I was typing something, which I suppose is another of her little quirks - she knows when to stay still haha! She also has a habit of showing off in front of the camera whether proving how strong she is inside a plastic box or getting as close to the camera lens as she can xD She does like to pose for pictures as well!
