Hello,
I am posting to you all to see if you would like to get in on the fun… Lord Aizen has started a new world… He has called it Las Noches. If you are a Bleach fan as BIG as I am, I’m sure you will want to get involved…
It does not matter if you are a guy or a girl all you have to be able to do is role play the Espada character. However, you will have to make a new account with the characters name so it will post in the Las Notches world with the proper name, and you have to be willing to post in the Las Noches world at least once maybe twice a week. It does not have to be anything major just a short post or long (it is up to you and your free time) the only thing is the post has to be the character you are role playing. A post maybe something like a complaint they might have about a Soul Reaper or a fellow Espada) just remember this is for fun so if something is said about your character you have the right to defend it, but no getting out of hand the Otaku Mods are still watching. As time goes on you will be filled in on other things going on and the ‘so called’ orders Lord Aizen will be giving out to the Espada.
Now your username you are using now will remain secret and no one (but me and Lord Aizen) will know who you are. It will be up to you if you want others to know who you really are… However, if you do that please do not make it public in The Las Notches world. If you do that Lord Aizen or myself will have to ask you to step down from your Character role.
As far as your part in the world; you are as much as part of the world as I am (after all you are a big part of Las Noches that’s why you are here) so any ideas you might have will not be shunned (as long as they are within The Otaku Rules). All you have to do it drop a PM to Lord Aizen and let him know what is on your mind. He has some fun things planned for the new world and later in the New Year he wants to start bringing in Ichigo’s group and maybe a few Soul Reapers. Stir things up a bit then… heehee.
Stop by and check it out… Las Notches… Lord Aizen has not gotten very far with it yet because he is still trying to gather together the rest of the Espada and get the word out that they are here in The Otaku.
Anywho, he hopes to be hearing back from you on the matter… Here is who he is still in need of, Espada wise… and he need the one Soul Reaper, Kanama Tousenas as well. It is a first come, first serve bases to get the Espada of your choice. So if you are willing to take the extra time to do this you better act fast…

Yes, we know some of them are dead, but we are still going to add them, if people want to be them. However, we are not beyond adding other dead Arrancar or Números. If you have one you really like…
Waiting to hear from you… Hope you come to join the fun with us.
Thank You,
Lord Aizen and his assistant Kitabug69
I forget if it was Beth or another old person friend of mine who linked this to me initially. That said, if you were and 80s child of any form and liked Transformers, you knew the glory and majesty that is Stan Bush:
Twenty-five years later, the crazy hair and super noticeable snare drum hits of the 80s change. As do the Transformers that the kids are familiar with. As does Stan Bush:
They disabled embedding the regular "more of the band" video, so I'd recommend checking that out for more shots of Stan Bush being awesome. That said, this new version is inciting tons of cries of "RUINED FOREVER!" from "GEEWUN" fans. Myself, I wanna believe there's at least a tinge of irony in this new version.
Thus, I find it hilarious. Hence, it is awesome.
What is Movie Sign?
Every Sunday night, we nestle down in Chat and watch an episode of the cult TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) while spamming up the Chat box. Don't worry - we use episodes available on streaming sites so that we can all watch simultaneously.
What's MST3K?
A comedy show that ran from 1988-1999, it's like watching a movie with running commentary. Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, along with 'bots Tom Servo and Crow, are forced to watch terrible films as part of a mad scientist's bid for world domination. To keep their (and our) sanity, they talk back to the movies and riff on them. A more detailed explanation can be found up at the SoL.
Next Episode
Youth is in revolt in our next go around with The Violent Years, a movie that, while not directed by the legendary Ed Wood, was written by him! A group of high school girls, apparently fed up with their lives of comfort and loving parents, decides to lead double-lives by appearing in school during the day and robbing...gas stations...by night. But then things go awry, crazy stuff happens, and somehow desecrating a classroom helps the communists. Wait, what?
Before that, we've got ourselves another short, "Young Man's Fancy", which takes about thirty viewings to understand that it is supposed to be an advertisement for electrical appliances and not just some slice-of-life '50s sitcom.
Host Segment Highlights
Tom Servo's got a surprise for the group, and boy is it...rather terrifying. After that unfortunate occurence, the Mads fire up a radio station named "Frank" and get the whole crew to make theme songs for themselves. It unfortunately doesn't get very far, and neither does Servo's reenactment from a movie nobody but the old folks remember, nor does Crow's movie starring Mike as Keeanu Reeves...man, what a strike-out.
Whether a seasoned vet or new meat, we invite you all to come on down! Movie starts at 8pm EST/5pm PST, room opens at the :30 beforehand.
The password for the room is sowhat. Be ready to go and find the playlist here.
Movie Sign chugs along with...
1/17 - Episode 208 - The Lost Continent
1/24 - Episode 519 - Outlaw
1/31 - Episode 414 - Tormented
