thanks for the promotes:)!Just listened to Mad Season, didn't know them before, ..which track reminds you most of the Mount Sims track? They indeed have a kind of dark melancholic sound, but quite rocky..

Rodriguez is god, don't y'all ever forget it...

Final Fantasy VII introduced me to the series, I was..9, when it came out, and it was the first time I played a video-game with that much story to it / character depth, ect.

I can't remember where its from, but a website basically said why FF VII also had one of the greatest baddies of the series, "Men like him because of his bad-assery, and his 8-foot sword. Women like him because of his long silver hair, his good looks, and his 8-foot sword."

Final Fantasy 8 Was good..until around the mid 3rd disc, then the story went completely downhill

Final Fantasy 9 was alright, got back to more of a decent storyline

and then..we have FF X. It was alright for a while, I mean, how can you not love a game where one of the main characters is voiced by Bender Bending Rodriguez.

Then we move on to one of my favourite characters, the drunken 2-handed sword wielding badass from beyond the grave...

Then we have tidus. The Luke Skywalker of final fantasies. Never, has there been such a whiney bitch in a video game before, or after final fantasy X.
Half the time, my party didn't even have him in it. For all I'm concerned, Tidus could go jump of a bridge, and never return to the final fantasy series.
Unfortunately, he does in FFX-2 apparently..never played it though.

But this scene..has to be the worst one in final fantasy history. Good sift, I'll watch and hate it frequently.

Steven Spielberg
Brad Bird
Quintin Tarentino
Robert Rodriguez.


Some might say Francis Ford Coppola.
I would argue that George Lucas is not a bad director, but not top 5.
..Michael Bay..?

i'm not much of a sports guy, but is that Bender Bending Rodriguez doing the announcing? the guy that says, "i hate when that happens"

Yeah, let's not forget, shall we????

Let's not forget:
that there are simple, textbook methods for manipulating masses and mobs;

that the easiest ways are usually the most counter-productive and unhealthy;

that the hardest thing to do is stare truth in the face, and deny its existence;

hey friend, I'm sorry if this hurts, but I hate seeing those heroes that are claiming they heard explosions being called liars and when Rodriguez helped a man that had his skin burned off from one of these explosions, and ppl are calling him a liar it pisses me off a bit.

You were inside the tower also?.. where were you in relation to the twin towers when the attack happened?... when did you appear on the scene?.. I know the manhattan area.. I used to live on 89th st.

I'm not claiming that I know for sure what happened. If you all want me to shutup about it here, then fine I will. I'm not exactly making any friends by holding this viewpoint and personally I hope you all are correct and I'm wrong but some things just don't add up and it bothers the hell out of me.

If the government wouldn't be so secretive, suppress full and independant investigations, withhold/alter/destroy evidence then I would have never even considered foulplay, but with all this and hearing testimony of account from firsthand responders like that of Mr. Rodriguez while they refused to use his testimony in the release of the analysis, what the hell is one supposed to think?

Hmmm... claimed testimony of ppl in the bldg that report these things as useless dumbass theories? .. it's like you all are calling the heroes like Rodriguez and those firefighters liars, you realize that don't you?

In reply to this comment by thesnipe:
"So, what do you think about the firefighters and that head janitor that went through the north tower.. he's claiming that a bomb went off about several seconds before the plane hit.. and also claims of people being hurt by some of these explosions... at the base levels.. I'm not making this up.. they were there 1st hand ... reports of multiple explosions from the hero firefighters.. they must be crazy loons huh? What the hell is wrong with you ppl? I suppose you can't get out of the denial phase. This was all over CSPAN two days ago."

I was there too, first hand so don't go disputing the obvious. It's so nice to sit back and think that some guy on youtube has the facts of a conspiracy to demolish a building from a structural engineer standpoint. For this one claim of people saying they heard explosions there are HUNDREDS of others who dispute it first hand. Ya know people who call 9-1-1 reporting that there are gunshots when in fact their neighbor just lit off a firecracker, it's the same damn syndrome. I know people who were there from t minus 1 hour, 99% know what they saw and heard, they decide to stand next to reason as oppossed to claims from some whackjobs without the proper intelligence to analyze an incident that the most elite of our engineers and physicists struggle to determine the magnitude of. Lucky isn't making any shit up, if reason and physics is shit, then your personal attacks stand to clarify your comments at shit as well.

Is it THAT hard to believe that actual physics could come into play and bring down a building exposed to the trauma that WTC 7 did? Noooo it's some secret explosive technology developed in some dark ass lab by engineers who were disgruntled by normal existing technologies and contractors in the field of demolition. And don't start calling me out on the heroism of the firefighters that may have seen or heard these "explosions", I was there and know the agony and display of heroism EVERY single fireman/police officer and EMT went through. In the heat of the moment what a minority of what people think they see and heard can easily be misinterpreted.

Ya know what it probably is, all the people who were there were brainwashed as well by another secret government only technology. That would explain why I, and the hundreds of emergency response workers that were with me want to debunk this conspiracy theory.

Oh yeah and if something I said doesn't make perfect sense, excuse me but it's a difficult day for those who are busy paying respects to the friends and comrades they lost rather than coming up with useless and dumbass theories.

Ok.. since everything has to be explained in detail to you since you didn't see it on CSPAN the other night....

No.. the firefighters were not there when the first bomb went off as the janitor claims... but the janitor was leading the firemen up the tower in the stairwells because every other floor was locked and could only be opened with a master key that the janitor has (yes he still has it). By the time they got to the 34th floor they heard a series of explosions (that's a squadron of firefighters and the janitor)... not just one as you claim. Mr. Rodriguez has come forth with this information and testified before the 9/11 commission.. his testimony and any information about him was left out of the 9/11 commission report (it may be in the 28 page redaction). He has also been giving his testimony via various venues, but it's not widely publicised by the mass media.. however he did appear on Fox and MSNBC with a partial of his testimony, some of which was edited out.

Also, there is footage of explosions on video.. you need to do some more research. It's out there, but I'm about to make dinner and don't have time to look it for you.. do it yourself.

You should also watch the full testimony of Rodriguez that was aired on CSPAN - It's part of the American Perspectives series. If I ever see it released on You Tube, I'll post it.

One of the main reasons that this is not fully convincing that it was just caused by the fires and not thermodetonators plus fires - is the fact that pools of molten metal running through the channels in the basement areas and is clearly visible from other photos where they were pulling steel beams covered with the molten metal.

Also, there are other main factors involved here, such as eyewitness testimony, accound and audio/video recordings that show multiple explosions occurring.

-- At the very moment I'm writing this, I'm viewing on CSPAN a testimony from WTC Janitor William Rodriguez as he and others claimed a major explosion in the basement are occurred about a minute or two before the plane hit the first tower as well as several other explosions throughout the buildings and his personal witness an assistance of a severe burn victim from one of these explosions.
I've heard debunkers claim that some of the multiple explosions were the result of propane canisters in kitchens that were exploding from the heat, however this is not possible because the WTC was a Class A bldg that had electrical kitchens with propane being considered a hazardous chemical that was not allowed in a class A bldg.

CSPAN is replaying this video every other hour today. Rodriguez' testified before the 9/11 commission, however was either ommitted by the commission or redacted by the Bush administration (28 pages redacted by the White House).

This and other questions such as Bldg. 7, the strange crash of flight 93, flight 77's ultra-precision maneuvers by sub-standard pilots (there are photos of an array of antennas that was installed on the roof of the pentagon at that location reportedly just a few months before the attack which could have been used for navigational guidance) and the multiple reports that 5-6 of the 19 reported terrorists that flew the planes are still alive.

I'm not claiming that any of this is true or not... but these are solid enough to warrant a major investigation that is not directed by the White house or influenced by corporate and CIA/FBI directives.

The Keane/Zelikow commission has reported that much information has been withheld and/or stymied from them during their investigation.

(Lee Hamilton, Vice Chairman, 9/11 Commission) states: I don’t believe for a minute that we got everything right. We wrote a first draft of history. ... People will be investigating 9/11 for the next hundred years in this country, and they’re going to find out some things that we missed here.

Peter Rundlet, Counsel for the 9/11 Commission states: Very possibly, someone committed a crime. And worst of all, they failed to stop the plot.

Senator Max Cleland – Former member of the 9/11 Commission, resigned in December 2003 states: "As each day goes by, we learn that this government knew a whole lot more about these terrorists before Sept. 11 than it has ever admitted.", "...This investigation is now compromised."

it had it's moments, they should have let Robert Rodriguez dir. it......

Awesome post here sylvester! It had escaped the queue even before I could vote for it! True south-of-the-border Ball-Flexin'...Rodriguez Style!

Oh HELL yeah! Bender Bending Rodriguez in the house!
