Here is my analysis on the Champions League Quarter-finals:
Barcelona v Shakhtar Donetsk:
On paper, it looks as though Barcelona will have an easy match. However, Shakhtar Donetsk surprised everyone by defeating Roma with quite a large aggregrate score. Furthermore, Barcelona may be under pressure to win the Champions League trophy once more, while Shakhtar Donetsk may not feel anything at all. After all, they have nothing to lose after coming so far into the competition. Although I have never watched Shakhtar Donetsk play, I suspect they may be a relatively fast team.
Real Madrid v Tottenham:
Definitely a interesting matchup since both teams are quite offensive in nature. Quite a few people will be hoping for Tottenham to carry on with their fairy tale run, but Real Madrid has the experience in major competitions.
Chelsea v Manchester United:
At this moment, Manchester United has quite a number of players injured while Chelsea is slowly regaining their form. Depending on whether Chelsea has any chance to win the English Premier League by the time the quarter finals arrive, they may simply focus on winning the Champions League instead. After all, that is one of the reasons why they purchased Torres.
Inter Milan v Schalke 04:
Inter Milan will be facing off against yet another German team. Italian pride vs Germany's vegeance? Inter Milan may have to concentrate on two fronts, their domestic league as well as the Champions League. On the other hand, Schalke 04 are not doing so well domestically and can fully concentrate on progressing further in the Champions League. Schalke 04 should not be underestimated since they managed to beat Valencia. Inter Milan can be vulnerable at times.

Gambler what you said confuses me.You're saying that you used to think it's wrong make a thread of a dream because it probably wouldn't come true? That's just messed up.
I think he is saying the opposite. Even if it is highly improbable or impossible that your dream will come true AT THAT TIME, you can still make a thread about it because things can change.
I believe Neko-chan understands my words and intentions very well. :)
To reiterate, some dreams may seem difficult to come true right now, but there is no harm in starting a topic for it, because things and circumstances may change in future. Just remember not to break any rules while posting.

I have thought about the same issue a long time ago, but I came to realize that the various threads still fall under the category of dreams.
Some of them may be impossible to achieve given the knowledge which we currently possess, but these "dreams" could possibly come true in future. The same goes for certain scenario spelled out by users.

Not hate, but wary, given your bear "admiration" antics. :D

After discussing things for a little while in the old café thread, it was decided that I was apparently the best choice for making the new one. ^_^
Given your position as a board member, how do suppose I can purchase some shares of the Fakku Cafe V3?
Minakami Ryuu wrote...
and visual novels?
lol,i haven't play it yet~
:p
Then perhaps yearning to play it must have affected you. :D
All right people, I am off to bed. It is nice seeing everyone again!
Mod Note: After some consideration, I don't think this is a typical request. Instead, the thread starter is asking for some pointers with regards to photoshop. Therefore, I will allow this thread to remain in the Art and Digital Graphics section for now.
Thank you for your kind understanding.

I see you have been promoted, at least in the Cafe, given your current avatar?
I don't remember being invited to the celebration party. :D

Then again, wouldn't it be somewhat stuffy to remain in there all the time?

yes,it is~
but it's an interesting job,and i like it~
:3
yep2,i think so,although still have some assignments to do~

Lesson Learned: Too much work (and visual novels) may cause one to fall ill. :eng101:

Bears always hates me despite of my admiration for them......

Lol! Admiration can hold a few meanings in this particular context.

[quote="Minakami Ryuu"]
yes,i think i overwork my self,being a class president takes a lot of energy and time.......~
but it's aleardy weekend for me,so i think i will get more rest and will be better soon~
;)
aww.....,thank you~
*bear hug back*
thank you~
Minakami is name of someone from a VN~
:3
Being a class representative or president is not an easy job. Perhaps you could delegate some of your tasks to others, provided they are willing to lend a helping hand.
I am glad to hear the weekend will provide you with more rest.
Which visual novel would that be?

Mod Note: I would urge all users to refrain from criticizing the thread starter. English may not be said member's first language and the question posed may not necessarily mean that s/he does not care about the grave situation in Japan.
Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation.
Getting back on topic, it is inevitable that some programmes may be postponed or even cancelled during times of crisis. It would be inconsiderate and insensitive to screen variety shows and even anime when most of the residents hope to obtain the latest updates on the current situation.

Fret not, there are secret compartments within my fur. Nothing too dirty since I bathe daily at the House. :D

Perhaps we could all meet up and play the werewolf/murderer game someday.

Ommph,missed sir GAMBLER's bear hug~
And I just felt changing to my old one but then I lost the one used last year so
I vectored my drawing again...good eye there sir.
I see. I don't think I managed to notice the changes, but it just looks slightly different based on my poor memory.
Given your skills, I am sure you will be able to come up with a new and unique avatar soon.
Minakami Ryuu wrote...
still not feeling well,but much better than before~
what about you?
@gambler:
nooooo.......~
but i think hugged to death is not a bad way to die,if do it right?!!
:p
have no specific reason,just want to~
how's it,do you like it?
:3
Oh my, I did not know you were feeling unwell. Try not to overwork your body. The upcoming weekend should provide more opportunities for you to recuperate, I hope.
*Caring Bear Hug*
I would think it is quite an unique username but I am not too sure what Minakami means. ^_^;;

[font=Verdana][color=green]Oof! -gets bearhugged- Nice to see you again. Same here...I just hope that Chelsea don't get Barca. Anything else and I'll be fine. What are you hoping for?
[size=3]Btw...PM's must be answered by myself...><[/h]
No team would want to face Barcelona, or so I think. I am just hoping for some exciting match-ups rather than one-sided affairs.

Aih aih.. How could you say that... Of course I like you and your kind~ especially as gorgeous carpets and clothes

Better dead than alive? Personally, I prefer to be alive than dead. :D

*As usual, bear hugs.*
I am eagerly awaiting the Champions League quarter-finals draw, which should take place on Friday. How about you?

*close your eyes with my hands*

You better reveal your true identity before I hug you to death. :D
Jokes aside, why the name change?

*pops in*hmmm........
I think I know you... but you appear different. :D

Sees sir GAMBEAR~O_O~*Bear Hugs Girutiya!*
Why did you revert back to one of your old avatar... or so I think? There could be some minor changes, but I don't think I can spot it.
- One less member to bear hug.
- One less member possessing an avatar which differs from the moe category.
- Maybe less colourful too?
