    Even if we did, we couldn't tell you. Administrator has rules about exchange of free download sites.

    And even if we could, we probably wouldn't. We need to encourage TVB to release these old classics by supporting them when a good series is released, not pirate the things all over the place. Heaven knows how hard it was for me to find my copy of Romantic Swordsman 78 - I had to get it in Singapore, and until today I don't think I've seen it in Malaysia ever.

    Ken would be so mad to see the results of this poll.

    Never underestimate the lemming-like mentality of the teenybopper crowd.

    You gotta hand it to YG. He's somehow managed to become one of the most recognizable characters in Chinese fiction.

    And probably the most recognizable character in spcnet (even for non wuxia fans) thanks for Ken's persistent propaganda. Though, YG does seem to be like the Kobe Bryant of the wuxia world. Most people seem to either love him or hate him...as he never fails to top popular polls--for both most-loved and most-hated.

    I think it's because he's somehow the most immediately identifiable character. Between the white streaks in his hair, the one-arm, the HIS, the big bird, and the hot-as-**** wife in all white, I just don't think any other character jumps off the screen as much when he shows up.

    Did Linghu Chong's positions ever surprise himself?

    What if DGQB had the Dugu 9 Jian Manual on his body when died, so that Brother Condor buried it with him? *

    Many decades later, Feng Qingyang discovers a strange set of stones and uncovers a sword manual composed of the peak of perfection in surprising positions.

    *(Dugu Qiubai's killing aura is so strong that the manual is perfectly preserved)

    Maybe Dugu Qiubai's sword skills are so advanced that the sword manual is carved into his bones.

    Maybe he pulled an Obi-wan and appeared to FQY as a ghost.

    You're the second person or maybe even third person I've known who has tried to make a connection between Yeung Gor and Kobe Bryant, and I don't see the connection at all (other than being loved/hated).

    In terms of disposition and status, Kobe Bryant reminds me of another wuxia character - Sai Mun Chui Sheut.

    is that the long lost Advanced Tattoo Skill?

    Huang Yaoshi has mastered Qiankun Danuoyi:

    但见他双手发抖,脸上忽而雪白,忽而绯红。

    compared to Yang Dingtian: 忽然间满脸铁青,但脸上这铁青之色一显即隐,立即又变成血红之色,忽青忽红

    I was refering more to fan perception...though Kobe and YG isn't all that much different. Both are sociable when needed to be but also needs their "alone time" when the situation calls for it. They like to give out smart aleck responses and really don't give a sh*t what people like to think about them. Plus, if there is one person who can still play in the NBA with only one arm, it's Kobe.

    I'm a fan, and I perceive Kobe more as Sai Mun Chui Sheut: an eccentric perfectionist obsessed with his craft. Seems aloof to most, but surprisingly loyal to family and friends.
