  1. Nintendo 3DS

    Controls on the 3DS are ass as they are right now. Customizable controls could fix that. Also, yeah, you don't have to press Up to jump. I think you can even turn that off? Not sure, though. But either way, every Smash has had a button or two assigned for jumping. I've certainly never (intentionally) used Up for jump. Other than that... I know other people who don't like Smash, so you're not the only crazy person in the world!
  2. anime

    Agreed. POST IT! Also, Tokyo Ghoul is quite boring and takes itself far too seriously except for those too-few moments when it actually gives me what I want, which is crazy superpowered ghouls fighting each other. I feel like what happened in the span of one season should've been pared down to a few episodes as an OVA or something. Maybe just a single movie? The core conceit is rather silly and yet typical: there are ghouls living alongside humans who also eat humans. Some of the ghouls only eat already-dead humans though so it's okay. But all humans hate ghouls. Except the girl that doesn't because they're in love and she lets the guy who needs a meal take a bite out of her. Anyway the main character gets attacked by a ghoul, who accidentally dies. The doctor uses her organs to save the guy. Now he's part ghoul, part human. And then the anime spends 10 episodes going on and on about how ghouls are just like humans why can't we all get along (GEE I WONDER WHY???) (last ep spoilers, though tbh who cares just read it) Besides that, I've watched all of Terror in Resonance except for the last episode, which I won't be able to watch until this weekend. It's good?(??) I dunno. Watanabe continues to not deliver the things I really want him to deliver: more stuff like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. I did eventually grow to like the main girl character, though. Mostly. Maybe. Stockholm???????? I think I like it. Someone tell me if I like it. I also watched a bunch of Tokyo ESP, which featured a few-minutes-long Ghostbusters gag at one point and a very brief Wolverine gag that you'd probably miss if you looked in a different area of the screen. It's goofy and serious at the same time and I mostly enjoy it on a surface level. Oh yeah I finished Gankutsuou which I definitely loved. I only remember one thing that bothered me though I don't know if that's an element from the original story or just poorly translated, or what. EDIT: OH SHIT LOG HORIZON CONTINUES NEXT SEASON AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  3. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    I can agree with this. Evil cartoon mushrooms are basically the best mushrooms.
  4. Our favourite moments of play

    Every time I win a game of Dota 2. No joke, that always makes me feel insanely good. But, of course, losing makes me feel like shit.
  5. Man Odin Sphere is damn good. I often think it shouldn't be. But it is.
  6. Adulthood, Age, and Modernity

    I scream profanities at random intervals.
  7. Adulthood, Age, and Modernity

    With griddle here. Fuck people. Movies are too long and almost always suck. I'M AN ADULT!
  8. Other podcasts

    I am kidding Merus. Also I'm pretty sure had I not been so incredibly, insanely lazy, I would've been in the "gifted" track, too. School was super easy, to the point where I didn't even want to bother. Until college! ^ reassuring oneself of one's superiority
  9. emote me

    Yo I hate emoticons so this thread makes me angry. ):<
  10. Other podcasts

    In this thread, all the gifted children brag about how gifted they are while I sit over in the corner and beat rocks together. O woe!
  11. Other podcasts

    My only Dan-experience is from this thread, from Thumbs IRC, and from the PAX panel which I watched. He sounds pretty great to me! A lot of people's reasons for disliking him sound like reasons to do the opposite. I'm looking forward to finally catching up on the 'cast. I'm currently somewhere in late 2012...
  12. Ello.co

    I try not to be cynical. If they fuck up, then I'll be annoyed. But so far they haven't!
  13. Ello.co

    I'm not even remotely disturbed by it. Its foundation is hating women. Fuck it.
  14. Ello.co

    LOL Is that real?! I now want to fully commit to Ello. I'm still incredibly skeptical as to how they're going to keep it running, though...
  15. DOTA 2

    Yes. That was my point.
  16. Ello.co

    Oh I thought Ello was already dead. D:
  17. Recently completed video games

    Me too except I'd rather they just not make a third season of The Walking Dead or drop Game of Thrones. Or toss all that out the window and just make a new Sam & Max.
  18. DOTA 2

    Yeah now they'll just go farm up some items with their complete map dominance instead!
  19. Recently completed video games

    This is a real fact and indisputable: Until they make a Mass Effect game that only takes place on the Citadel and has little-to-no action scenes, they have not made a good Mass Effect game.
  20. D4 by SWERY

    Ain't nothin' wrong with panderin'! I would like to play this in the same way I would like to play Deadly Premonition. But I don't own an Xbone and never will, and Deadly Premonition simply will not work on my computer. So I can't play either. ):
  21. Cartoons!

    After watching the first season a while ago, I finally watched the second season of Wakfu. It is way better than a French anime based on a free-to-play MMO has any right to be. Geeeeeeeeeez. Geez!
  22. I Had A Random Thought...

    Nobody who's sane has a wallet that isn't super thin in their back pocket. Nobody who's sane has a wallet that isn't super thin.
  23. anime

    The Seven Deadly Sins is an okay manga with some bright spots, and I expect the anime to be similarly okay with some bright spots. Been reading it on CR for a while but keep falling off due to their atrocious tracking of what page/chapter I'm on. Get your shit together CR, you've had it for your anime for so long, you'd think it'd be even easier with manga. Though I already hate the way the princess sounds literally the same as every other character like that, with her high-pitched, slightly-exasperated tone of voice. Save me, Deadly Sins, save me!!! ): Also, pretty sure it is actually revealed in the manga what they were framed for. But I forget what it was because a) it's been a while and who even cares. I watched the first half of Space Dandy and it was way better this time around. I'd already seen half of... that first half and was less than impressed, despite expecting to love it. Guess I just wasn't in the right mood for it. It's great wacky spaceventure funtime parody. Though the best episodes are the ones that have a sort of melancholic undertone to them. Except the ramen episode, that might be my favorite so far. Though I guess the end of the episode is sort of melancholic. Looking forward to watching the second season once I've moved to start my new job. U: And now I'm watching Gankutsuou in earnest, FINALLY. Wow it's really good. Like it's been a while, I think, since I've been so engrossed in an anime of this ilk. I feel sort of ashamed watching this without ever having read the original story, but also so far based on my situation, this is just really good so who cares! I went from only having watched three episodes in probably half a year up until yesterday to suddenly being in the middle of the 16th episode.
  24. Steam Curation!

    You are definitely old. At least one-thousand and two years old, by my estimate! Maybe even as old or older than the end of time!
  25. Fantasy Finale XV

    The non-DS versions of the DS remake have a difficulty setting to go back to the original difficulty, apparently.
