Acalewia · 08-30-2007, 11:25 AM

Nautipus · 08-30-2007, 12:11 PM

me9996 · 08-30-2007, 12:14 PM

I supose that's what's responseable for all that dragon stuff in books and TV a few years ago

Nautipus · 08-30-2007, 12:15 PM

Exactly!! Im glad someone's catching on!

Acalewia · 09-16-2007, 05:55 PM

Nautipus · 09-17-2007, 08:34 PM

Oh, your quick. Three emoticons and we're done.

Acalewia · 09-18-2007, 12:29 PM

Either that or nobody's bothered to check in on this thread

Nautipus · 09-18-2007, 07:00 PM

Okaaaay....so about dragons.....
Anyone check out that new game LAIR that's coming out? If your a dragon fan you ought to.

me9996 · 09-19-2007, 12:07 PM

I haven't... What is it?

Acalewia · 09-19-2007, 03:29 PM

I don't have the right system for it and I really don't have a few hundred dollers to spare at the moment for a PS3

omg, me! Lair is a new game where you play a dragon iirc and/or a rider. Nautipus, correct me if I'm wrong about that.

It is a game where you fly around on a big dragon and torch everything in your path. As far as I know It has a good storyline, but I havnt played it.
And, like Acalewia, I dont have the system for it and doubt that I will spare the buckage

Accidentally posted this thing too early

Anyway, Acalewia, you are right. It is just as you say. But I am big on looking at different types of anything , dragons included, and apparently this game has a big lot to choose from, so I figured it might be cool. I cant find any info on the different dragon types online, though. Can anybody help me out?

Totally right!
Dragons play a big role in Chinese culture.

There's even a small baby boom during the year of the dragon in China. (reference: Chinese baby-boom in the Year of the Dragon)

However I'm always sad that Japanese dragons never get mentioned

.
They're pretty cool too and their legends are really the best IMO. (reference: Famous Japanese Dragons)

I take it that may be because Westerners tend to conflate all Aziatic dragons because they are often visually very similar, and it's mostly in mythology where the differences are.

In Chinese culture, dragons embody benevolence and power. They possess supposed powers of control over weather phenomena such as, for example, invoking rain during a drought.

The Chinese dragon in Chinese culture has been part of it for more than 7,000 years. ( source : [LINK deleted - When an admin deletes a link, it is bad form to edit it back in again - Eärniel] )
