  1. Mega Man is still Mega, Man. (Mega Man Legacy Collection)

    I have the Mega Man Collection for the Gamecube and I think it has 1-8 on it. I had a friend over a few months ago and we spent a couple hours playing Mega Man 2 and it was great. I'm thinking now that I should go back and spend some more time experiencing these games. I've never played any Mega Men before aside from Mega Man X on SNES and that was the first time I had popped the GCN collection in after owning it for over a decade.
  2. Ouran Boast Club - Planning an Anime Podcast

    Regarding Vegeta's mustache. I never watched more than a couple episodes of Dragon Ball GT so I was never fortunate enough to witness the mustache for myself. But I really hope that he went super saiyan at least once while he had the mustache. Even better, I hope it was one of those slow transformations where his mustache started twitching and glowing and turned gold before the rest of his hair. On Saiyan hair, the only thing that is ever mentioned is a throwaway line from Vegeta that Saiyan hair never grows any longer from the moment they are born. I think this basically implies that even if they got a haircut or shaved their heads, they would never grow that hair back. So the mustache is a great Dragon Ball Mystery. My guess is that it is honey + cat hair.

    If you're on later tonight, around 10 pm your time I think, I might be down to join you. I only have one Skolas victory under my belt and wouldn't mind having another go.

    It hurts, I know. You really are a solid dude though for having the strength to realize the situation and make the right call though. Very few people would have had the guts or the introspection to be able to do that and would have instead just kept plowing forward and gambled on everything just somehow working out. Totally awesome that you were able to do such a difficult thing in the face of strong and confusing emotions. And just take some time to feel shitty about it. Better to confront and process those feelings now so you can come to terms with them and let them run their course. As shitty as you feel though, don't second guess your decision. It was the right one.

    If you click 'more reply options' at the bottom of the page, it'll give you the option to browse and upload pics from your pc. Took me a while to first figure that out too.
  6. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    I wonder if The Witcher is ever going to get Horsebag support.
  7. anime

    Oh man, I started Clannad After Story and right out of the gate it produced tears... of laughter. Nagisa's father decided he wanted to put a ragtag baseball team together to compete against a rival shop and one of the players they managed to recruit was a guy named Yoshino who was apparently really popular and someone a lot of them looked up to. It took a little convincing to get him to join but he obviously knew that people looked up to him because his first at-bat resulted in this: Then his second at-bat: I just love that everyone else is more or less playing it straight and trying to do well and this guy is just absolutely obsessed with living up to his role model status and making sure that he creates these "lasting memories" for all the people that look up to him. Just awesome. But episode 2 started getting a little weird. Nagisa's mom is pretending to be Sunohara's (Okazaki's delinquent douchebag friend) girlfriend to help encourage him to get his life on track. But Sunohara thinks that she is actually Nagisa's sister and they are all fully aware of this and playing along anyways. Please don't let this go to a dark and gross place.

    Uneven terrain. Our only hope for stopping the robopocalypse.
  9. anime

    I finished Clannad. There were parts of it I didn't like that felt a little too disjointed with the rest of the story (like the Fuko arc and some of the stuff with the genius girl) but the rest of it ended up coming together pretty nicely and I'm happy with the way it concluded. I'm still having a hard time though comprehending why they threw some of that supernatural stuff into an otherwise normal story about high school students doing high school things. It just detracted too much from the main story and didn't really go anywhere or result in anything meaningful. But taking the less favorable stuff out, this show managed to grab my interest with the high school drama and relationships in a way that Kids on the Slope didn't. The characters were more interesting, they acted way more mature and did less of that "I'm giving you the cold shoulder" bullshit that Kids on the Slope kept trotting out over and over, and the relationships that came about felt more natural and believable. Spoiler for the rest. All in all, I enjoyed this show and if you trim away some of the fat, it has a really good core. I'll be moving on to Clannad After Story next and am hopeful that they keep the focus on the things that worked for me and have zero coma ghosts.

  11. anime

    For me, the payoff in Steins;Gate was huge and I feel like in the last couple episodes, everything tied back into the events in the beginning about as perfectly as you could hope. I actually didn't care much for the show in the first 12 episodes or so but I loved everything after that and it's probably my number one favorite anime now. No guarantees that it will work for you though as I enjoyed all the stuff you aren't enjoying.

    For better or worse, my stance is to basically never trust anything the police say. There are so few repercussions that cops ever have to face for their actions and I truly believe it is a deeply corrupt system. How can a system with no accountability not be corrupt?

    So gamergate should be all over this right?
  15. Destiny

    Via the weekly update, Gjallarhorn will remain a year 1 exotic. I'm still confused though as to why they would even go through the bother of nerfing it if it isn't going to scale to year 2 stats. Makes me think and hope that there is more to be revealed at some point. Also, fuck Xur.
  16. Idle Workouts

    Pretty much this. Working out is the worst and it's boring and I also hate it. My preference was just to start eating super healthy and do zero exercise and I dropped like 40 pounds in 8 months. And JRPGs are definitely fun too. Way funner than exercise.
  17. anime

    Yeah, it's certainly been entertaining to watch these arcs build up, reach their conclusions, and then the next episode everyone's moved on to something else and whatever huge important thing had just happened is now something they couldn't give two shits about.
  18. Movie/TV recommendations

    I like Matt Damon. What did Damon ever do to deserve Damon hate?
  19. anime

    Clannad update. On the off chance someone actually cares about spoilers, I'll go ahead and spoiler this one.

    I got a chuckle out of this. The last one is especially solid. DBZ cast redubs some movies
  21. Social Justice

    Ninety-Three, this might be a helpful way to look at some of this. I'm sure we've all experienced that shitty situation where you do or say something unique or clever and then somebody else turns around and repeats it and everyone thinks they are awesome and have no idea that it was really you that thought of it. It's a douchey thing to do and people that do that kind of stuff are shitty. With the jazz example, I think it's kind of the same thing. They created a style of music that was unique to their culture and then white people took it, made it popular, got all the credit for how great their music sounded, and never gave due credit to those who actually deserved it. To me it is pretty clear how that is a super shitty thing to do. It's basically cultural plagiarism.
  22. Ferguson

    Honestly, you're probably right. It's just so fucking weird and hard to extrapolate what will potentially come out of this demonstration. At the very least, it will hopefully force some people to face some of the ugly hypocrisy in this country. I can just imagine right wing gun nuts all over the country watching the demonstration on TV and having an existential crisis when they see non-white people exercising their right to bear arms in the same brazen way they do.
  23. anime

    Clannad finally started to pique my interest last night. The Fuko arc finished a few episodes ago and now the focus seems to have shifted towards the girl genius and some of her mysterious past. And then suddenly it became a show where there is supposedly a hidden microscopic dimension that the genius girl's scientist parents had found but then something horrible happened and a mysterious man wants to tell her he's sorry for shit. This show is kind of hard to process. I can't tell if it's just supposed to be a show about silly high school hi-jinks with some coma ghosts thrown in or if it is a deep sci-fi mystery and some of what is happening isn't what it seems because the main character might possibly have schizophrenia (I think this was alluded to in one of the dreams he had when he fell asleep next to the genius girl who might have like hypnotized him or something?). Whatever this show is, I'm actually starting to like it quite a bit and I'm hopeful this weird trajectory continues and culminates into something much more than the boring high school drama that the first 10 or so episodes focused on.
  24. Ferguson

    Man, I caught some of that and my head just won't stop exploding. Talk about a freaking crazy development out of left field that nobody saw coming. I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to process this but my gut is telling me that this will ultimately be a good thing if it goes down as they're claiming (with a line of people armed to the teeth, alternating between BLM supporters and Oath Keepers). At the very least it will be a big reminder to everyone that the right to bear arms isn't a privilege exclusive to white people and that police react to a black person with a gun in a vastly different way than they react to a white person with a gun. Head exploding.

    "That pun was stupid and you're a fucking idiot for opening your dumb mouth." should do the trick.
