  1. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Speak for yourself. I ain't good folk.
  2. The Black Glove kickstarter

    eheheeee i get it I'm going to now work under the assumption that you didn't just type all that for the joke. Usually Kickstarters have the initial "oh that's new!" push and then a lull and then the final "oh time to back now!" push. Some are different, but not many. It's not really unreasonable to be worried when it has a slow start. Especially with as lofty a goal as $550k.

    As an aside: the amount of fidelity in that weirdo toothbrush-girl's eyes at the top of this page is COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY AND WEIRD.

    It is... going. I might have more to say later when I'm not at work. Suffice it to say, for now, I am settling.
  5. anime

    Oh! Yes, the endings to both Space Dandy and Barakamon were great! Those two and Haikyu!! are my top three for the past two seasons. I won't apologize! I don't know if I'd say Dandy has matured, per se, but there's definitely been a lot of character development that makes him a much more sympathetic character. Which really surprised me, like a lot. I totes recommend that anime (provided you can get over the egregious T&A, which was definitely the number one factor that put me off originally). I wish every season had an anime as genuinely funny and heartwarming as Barakamon. It made me so happy every time I watched it. )': Haven't really looked into this upcoming season's New Shit, yet, beyond a cursory glance. Or has it already started? Who knows!!!! The blonde haired guy was definitely a native English speaker. Also non-American VA, even though the character was allegedly American. And yes, once again, Terror in Resonance goes to show that Japanese VAs can't do English. I mean, that's not a knock on 'em, but man it just rips me right out every time they try to pass it off as legitimate.

    Yesterday, I finally got internet in my new apartment! This morning, I woke up, and it wasn't working. Resetting the router didn't work. Etc. Bleh. Bleh.
  7. World of Warcraft

    Damnit I was going to do this but then UK.
  8. Nintendo 3DS

    Oh that's good then because all I wanted was the colors.
  9. Nintendo 3DS

    Are they not free? I thought they were. I guess it would be easy free money if they weren't free. I tried updating my 3DS to find out but got an error five times in a row so gave up. Guess I could try again now. It's been a while. Maybe it was a server issue and it's cleared up now.
  10. Cartoons!

    I think it really would have given me nightmares if I had seen it as a kid! Also Amethyst's lips freak me out.
  11. Cartoons!

    Been watching Steven Universe for you, tegan, geez. Wow that cat fingers episode is the stuff of nightmares.
  12. Oh is it not going to use regular SD? Also is there a maximum size 3DS can take? I guess I'll google it nevermind.
  13. I couldn't buy it because I didn't have room on my SD card and didn't want to delete Animal Crossing or Pokemon or Luigi's Mansion because I occasioanlly play the first two and am in the middle of the last one. I need a new SD card.
  14. Cartoons!

    You also interpreted it incorrectly! There's no shame in that. I thought both seasons one and two were good, barring the relationship garbage. Well, I had other issues, too, but overall I'm generally more positive on Korra than most people I know. (Haven't watched season three, yet.)
  15. Cartoons!

    Aha! I misunderstood your misinterpretation all along. That's a whole lot more reasonable than what I originally thought you were saying. You should've been more clear in your objection! I would've admitted being guilty of lack of clarity far sooner! JERK!
  16. anime

    I have internet again! Time to watch the last episode of like five different things, I finished Terror in Resonance. The ending was good but also completely predictable. I finished Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro. The ending was all right but also felt sorta empty and unrewarding. I am finished Tokyo ESP. I am like forty five seconds in and it's paused on this shirtless disproportionately-muscled dude with a samurai helmet on and he's the one with the power causing a big government building in the air as an act of terrorism. I mean listen this anime is not good. I will not apologize. EDIT: I should apologize to myself, though. What a horrible non-ending. Based on a still-running (?) manga though so of course it wouldn't have a real/good ending after one season. But then I have the last episode of Space Dandy and Barakamon left! The former of which I've gradually just completely fallen in love with, and the latter of which is probably my favorite anime from this season. I've also been watching some Red Jacket Lupin III and it's like... not very good. I don't know why I've even watched 20-something episodes in. There are 155 episodes. Whyyyyyy. I remember Green Jacket being so much better. Also Castle of Cagliostro is of course good. But I wonder how Pink Jacket is! So I have to keep watching???
  17. The Black Glove kickstarter

    Some part of me dislikes that the surface reminds me so much of the first Bioshock game. But the other part of me likes it. So whatever.
  18. Cartoons!

    Korra IS the worst! (Obviously it is not the literal worst, but it is "the worst".) When it comes to relationships! This was not explicitly stated, but it was supplied by the context of the previous paragraph in that quote. I'm not saying that you can't interpret it incorrectly to mean that I think the show is all-around bad. But I am saying that you interpreted it incorrectly. That line does not exist in a vacuum! In fact, it very explicitly does not, by virtue of the first word being "and", which implies that what precedes is related. I am not trolling. There definitely was a context provided and had you picked up on it, you would not have misinterpreted! The mistake (on my part! possibly. i make no promises, since you are clearly in the wrong), here, is probably that it's not uncommon forum etiquette to separate topic shifts by entering a new paragraph. This is often employed to respond to separate posts or even to respond to separate thoughts within a single post. (i also enjoy it but I refuse to apologize.)
  19. Cartoons!

    Well now you're the one confusing me! Your interpretation as described here does fit, but is different from your earlier implication, which was that I didn't like the show at all! I am talking about the show's relationships. They're all handled poorly! That doesn't mean I dislike the show in its entirety...
  20. Movie/TV recommendations

    ?!?!?!?!?!?!
  21. Cartoons!

    Actually, the context of the post is that I was specifically discussing relationships. The entire preceding paragraph was about said relationships in Mystery, Inc! You ripped the second paragraph (which was a single sentence) out of that context! The entire post was a response to Tanu's off-hand dismissal of Mystery, Inc's relationships in comparison to Korra's! To be fair, I did not quote Tanu, but even without that! Note: I do not actually care or have any emotional commitment to this inane conversation. :3
  22. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    HNNNNNGH YES PLEASE ziltoid so good
  23. Cartoons!

    It's about context! Context!!!!
  24. Cartoons!

    But I actually quite like the show overall. U:You guys keep assuming that because I was talking about the relationships in Korra that I was talking about everything in Korra! Geez.
