    That's because they've already stalked your facebook and already know about you.

    Fun employment story in my neck of the woods, we got a new tester last Monday. He got fired on Friday. Fucking weird.

    For another potential applicant we googled his name and the first article that came up is about a paedophile caught at his address. Although the pedo was unnamed, just the association with it meant he didn't get the interview. The internet is a fucking scary place.

    SMT4 is excellent. If you've never played a SMT game before, you'd do yourself a disservice not picking it up!

     

    Also if you're a persona fan, PQ: Shadow of the Labyrinth is a blast.

     

    Gunman Clive is super cheap and a fun shooter.

     

    rune factory 4 was a game people were raving about for ages in this thread. I never played it though

     

    Finally there's this little game called Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

     

    Seriously, what are you doing right now? If it's not playing MH4U, going on amazon to order MH4U, or looking on the Monhun thread for hot tips, you need to get on it and get some monsters in your life. It's the best thing on the 3DS, and it'll last you for hours. (I'm coming up to 200) 

     

    Get it and then come join the hunt with us! 

    Get it

    Get it

    Get it

    Get monster hunter 4 now.

    Were you already at 109 on the machine?  It happened to me again tonight in that Lilith run, and so I looked, and turns out that 109 is where it maxes out. 

     

    This is a reference to how the rebirth was 'hacked' in 109 hours after release - a particular sore-point for Edmund. Die-hard fans have been going mad over finding where some of the supposed new content is. 109 hours later (earlier this morning for me), some more dlc dropped which has the rest of the content. Well played Edmund.

    So this was pretty fun last year, so I'm saying let's do it again! Same rules as last time:

     

    How to enter:

     

    • PM me with your name, Address and country before the 30th November.
    • In the PM, also state if you are up for: shipping (i.e. physical present), international shipping (i.e. present from abroad), digital, or all/mix of the above!
    • Also state any important information like food allergies.
    • If you are wanting a digital present, also include your steam ID/email address.

     

    Rules:

    • Present(s) should cost no less than $20 - $25, excluding shipping (note: I have no idea how much international shipping costs, so if this'll cost too much, let me know!)
    • You must be an established forum member to enter (50+ posts). This is to prevent flakey flakers flaking out at the last minuet, meaning someone doesn't get a present and being sad. They'll probably cry. I know I would.

    After the 30th, I shall randomly assign people according to their shipping options, and then hopefully people will send off stuff and it'll all be fun and games. You shall get the address of your secret Santa by the 1st/2nd Post on this thread what you get! Or don't! (but do)

    Fair enough! I'm not well versed in mech tropes, so maybe I'm just not used to it? I did notice just how similar some of the beats were to Dallos though, amusingly.

     

    Also on a different matter, Leeds hosts an international film festival every year, and they also have a fanime day, where they have a screening of 4-5 anime films. This year's is particularly exceptional because they're all shit I've never heard of. If anyone reading this lives near/in Yorkshire, you should totally make the trip to check it out. It's an awesome day,

     

    Here's what's on this year

    Japanese animation has a day all to itself at LIFF and this year’s line-up features five new and original features. The Case of Hana and Alice is a charming comedy from Japanese auteur Shunji Iwai. Rakuen Tsuiho: Expelled from Paradise is the new anime feature from the director of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Empire of Corpses is the first film in an anime trilogy based on the award-winning science fiction novels of the late Japanese author Project Itoh. Miss Hokusai is the new award-winning anime from Keiichi Hara, the director of Colourful. Plus, the brand new Ghost in the Shell feature.

    That whole franchise seems a big party of the culture surrounding anime but I tried watching the current iteration Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans and gave up on episode three.

     

    Oh. I'm really enjoying this series. ._.

     

    What didn't you like?

    Perfect insider? More like Pretentious insider. 

     

    I kid, I think this show will be good, but nothing happened in the first episode that was at all interesting. It's based off a novel that's won awards, and it's in the NoitaminA slot, so my hopes are high!

     

     

    I also checked out Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, and it's pretty good. Hilariously it reminded me a lot of Dallos. Crappy mechs and a colony of poor people on mars, with the hoity-toity princess coming to see what it's like for the little poor 'uns. Good stuff! I want to actually watch this Gundam series.

     

     

    Orange is the New Black definitely had people complaining in the most recent season about a character who got her kit off on screen, it seemed, primarily to have an attractive woman naked on screen and not for a good narrative reason. The ongoing relationship between Piper and Alex, which is sexually explicit, doesn't seem to bother people much because that narrative is part of the story for those characters, and if you removed it, it'd make the show worse.

     

    I don't think I've gotten to that point yet, and yeah, Vause and Piper's relationship is part of the cause.

     

     

    (HBO also has this problem - the immediate assumption was that the boobs in Game of Thrones were HBO's fault.)

    It wasn't? I don't know much about this, tbh.

     

    I don't think the sleaze has doubled down. There's certainly more, but it's just that the type of preferred sleaze has changed taste over the years? Gone are the days of crazy explicit monster girl things like WitchBlade and other Gonzo titles. Also art production has gone up too. Idk. It's certainly hard to defend it when I've just had a conversation with my colleague about The Testament of the Little Sister Devil. Ugh. -_-;

    I don't know, can you give any examples of anime/manga protagonists who are like "I want to stop all fighting forever and I'm going to kill as many people as it takes for that to happen"? I'm struggling to think of one, although I'm sure my impressionistic take on the trope has exceptions out there.
