The vertical screen display mode?

The ancient ninja skill of silent, lightning-fast killing?

The star of films such as "Love Potion No. 9" and "Hercules", as well as the hit television show "The O.C."?
I have zero experience with the latter two, so I will naturally have to go with the almighty screen display.
In fairness to Tate Donovan, whom many of you may not be familiar with, he was also the one-time boyfriend of Sandra Bullock.
Tate Donovan of course.
Well, I could never get TATE mode to work(yes, I did read the topic, so don't direct me to it) and I can't say I like ninjas, they seem to cause "OMFGninjas" so much stress. But, wow, Tate Donovan looks like such a dreamboat ;) I'm voting for him....
He also got to fuck Jennifer Aniston a few times.Quote:

I didn't know tate was an "ancient ninja skill of silent, lightning-fast, killing" but that's infinitely cooler than the other tates.
Great poll, by the way.
I choose Tate. The second one. :)
Well, according to the Shinobi producer, "tate" (pronounced "tah-tay") is an old cinematic convention from samurai movies where the hero (or villain) would kill his foes so quickly that they didn't notice they were dead. You see this a lot in anime, too.Quote:

Oh, and thanks for calling attention to my grammatical typo.
Tate #2 for me.
Sleeveboy, is your avatar/custom status a Lost Highway reference?
Yes, and yes.Quote:

(The custom status is the title of David Bowie's contribution to the soundtrack.)
Yup, there are no less than 2 different versions of that song on the Soundtrack CD.
(or was it 3)
Tate #2. Sorry omfgninjas, but ninjas have the Real Ultimate Power™.
Number two.
Damn... sleeve's not using that lovely Lost Highway av anymore. :p
My vote goes to the second tate.
Interesting to know that that cinematic technique actually has a name.
Stealthily dealing out ninja death is really cool. I just hope OMFGNinjas!!! doesn't find out I like that kind of thing.
What, no option for the Chibi Nappa Tate?
(It's my last name) :)
I choose that one.
It was only 2 different versions of the I'm deranged song on Lost Highway.
you mean when someone swings insanely fast and then there's a long pause and everyone drops dead?Quote:

I love that, #2 for me:D
#2. I'm not a fan of the pretty boy. Vertical shooters are nifty keen, but lightening fast ninja death is nifty keener.
I have to go with #2. Lightning-fast ninjas are the shit. Although, anyone who got to pop Jenny Aniston can't be that bad.
Number 2, but ofcourse :p
Speaking of #3 Tate, being lucky to bang both Bullock and Aniston. Damn :p
Isn't there a movie called Little Man Tate?
Though I choose number two, I'd go with taters myself, "mash'em, boil'em, stick'em in a stew...".
Now that most everyone is familiar with the second form of tate, I figured it was time to bump this poll.
i would go with tate donovan since he dated both sandra bullock and jennifer aniston, but since he's a big dumbass for dumping jennifer aniston (all because he disliked being known as "jennifer aniston's boyfriend"), i'll go with tate #2.
#2.
Indeed.
ninja stealth kill.
#2.
Tate Donovan wins, because dicking Jennifer Aniston is much cooler than shmups and ninjas combined.
I'll go with #2, if only because there's no Terry Tate action on here, which is a sad injustice in itself.
I don't see how fucking Jennifer Aniston or Sandra Bullock boosts one's value in the Tate race.
It's not like you'll be fucking either one by proxy if you vote for him.
:lol:Quote:

TATE screen mode is the shit. There's a few LCD monitors out there that can rotate to the vertical position like the Samsung 403T. Even though the screen is 15:9 would it be possible to play MAME TATE mode shooters? (I'm ignernt)
This tate. He'll fuckin wreck ya. :chick:

(P.S.: I just had to edit the poll and add Terry. How can you not have a TATE poll without TERRY TATE?! He'll clothesline you at the office!)
Ninja death foo'!
Larry Tate
Seriously, I don't understand how you missed the Office Linebacker.
I have to go with this real loser kid who lived in my neighborhood growing up. We once tacticallly egged his house from two fronts.
BTW, how is the 3:4 monitor display pronounced? T8 or tah-tey?
we vote for him because we give him props for it.Quote:

You forgot about the Tate museum in London!
http://www.tate.org.uk/home/default.htm
Pretty cool place. But I'll still take the display, thanks.
Oh sure, list the office linebacker but not me, the most prominant Tate on TNL. :p
Terry Tate does kick ass tho'.
As much as Shinobi rocked, I have to go with the linebacker guy. He fucking rules.

I predict that at least 80% of this message board says "tah-teh".
Thank you.Quote:

Now, is "Hori" pronounced "whore-y" or "ho-ri"?
My bad, didn't check the dates.Quote:

4:3 refers to standard (landscape) dimensions.
Whore-y.Quote:

Absurd. Nothing is cooler then a Ninja. If you look up cool in the dictionary it shows a picture of Joe Musashi...Quote:
