I find this game decidedly mediocre. Nice graphics, yes, love the bounciness. Good characters, too. But the engine is less 3d than rotating 2d. The game, once you get used to it, degenerates into repeated janken--a counter throw beats a striking blow, a throw takes precedence over a counter, and a s...

Well, remember in the first season of the anime, Minako was mostly seen non-ditzy? And besides, this live action adaptation is based of of the manga (of the first arc) where Venus was almost always non-ditzy. Minako barely had a personality at all in Classic, except for episode 42. But in PGSM, it ...

OK, so, I've finally downloaded and watched all 26 acts so far subtitled, and leafed through all 32 pages of this thread, and there's so much I need to catch up on that what I'm going to do is shove a whole bunch of thoughts into one big post as I remember them and put it up all at once. Point: Evil...

Now, I don't use my cellular phone while driving, because I know it's distracting to me, but I think if you can do both, go ahead. There ought not to be a law. What bothers me about the laws is that someday, when we have cars that all but drive themselves, and we're able to use portable phones, or w...

Just had one: I was watching the opening to PGSM, only the theme song was Moonlight Denetsu. About halfway through, the images started to change from the ones we always see. Among them was a shot of Queen Serenity, complete with cheesy plastic angel wings. The final shot, where the title came up (th...

In that vein, somewhat: my godfather is fairly a gourmet, so he often buys fancy ingredients. Sometimes he'll get away with this trick: Load up a big bag of, say, porcini or matsutake, find a checkout with a young, preferably male, cashier, and bring them to him. When the cashier asks, "What are the...

You're welcome. I've found that if you're going to be an anime fan, you've either got to be a minor expert in digital video or have a lot of money for professional DVDs/tapes. But the dvdrhelp.com site is a godsend.

I have worked both cashier and stock at grocery stores. Rarely did I have any problem with the customers. More so I had issues with the managers, who insisted on the strictest enforcement of the most pedantic rules. Like insisting we wear full uniform, even when working the overnight shift when the ...

I'm with you on the VCDs--low-quality video on a big-screen television is still better than high-quality on a PC monitor.

Have you tried using TMPGEnc to take the .ogm files directly to VCD-format mpgs? Theres a guide here which spells it out pretty well:

Live action except for a CG cat? Well, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever. . . wait a minute. . . :D

Animaniacs: Yakko Warner. I hate him for all the same reasons I do Seiya and then some...he's like Seiya without ANY redeeming qualities. He's obnoxiously suave, thinks all the girls love him, always the leader, gets the most songs, only gets tired/beat-up-ish twice (in the All the Words in the Eng...

16th: Kill Bill: Vol. 2 Is Kill Bill Volume 2 really a sequal? I mean, they were originally one movie, it was just split into two parts. I don't really regard that as a sequal. It's only two?

Re: Stupid characters in good shows

Topanga, Boy Meets World - I can't STAND her. She's always yelling at Cory, who's incredibly nice and sweet to everyone, blaming him for being the least bit indecisive. The off-and-on boyfriend/girlfriend relationship she and Cory had SO got on my nerves in the final seasons. Oh, man. In the early ...

More specifically, one of the main ones on the show. If I could wear pants and armor like Prince Endymion and Tuxedo Mask, that would be fine, but I would NOT want to wear high heels, since I get weirded out by shoes that are even slightly off the ground in reality. I think I like being short and l...

I think being a Sailor Senshi would suck. You would have devote most, if not all of your time fighting evil and protecting the universe and stuff. If my memory serves me right, the series went over 4 years (in storyline time) and had 200 eps, so you're really only fighting evil once a week on avera...
