That's just... crazy. If I could vote for him, I sure as heck wouldn't. This guy wants to punish terrorists and other assorted high level criminals by impalement . He goes to try to justify it by saying that it's no more horrible than what they've done. Which may well be, of course, but that doesn't...

Side Note: WTF, they have manga café's in Japan? o_o That they do; I go past three of them on my way home from school. ^_^ And I ride in a more or less straight line, too, so who knows how many there are on the side streets? Probably even more WTF-ish, or at least from the NA perspective of "only k...

I've seen this site before. I don't remember when, but I definitely remember it... Stuck my given name in as "Alexander" instead of the "Alex" I usually go by, because A) four letters is just too short and B) the system struggles with words that end in "X". "Mercurius Twin" is also too long, so for ...

Gunstar Super Heroes. (Japanese ver. of course, for the Game Boy Advance) I got this one about two weeks ago, and was playing it constantly for the week following. It's a remake of the old Genesis classic "Gunstar Heroes", with a graphical upgrade and a few other random Sega-game homages thrown in. ...

Absolutely hilarious. I'm probably still laughing as you read this.

It's suspicious that Yuu Yuu Hakusho is right next to Hunter X Hunter on the list. Also, do you think this was a viewer poll or rating based or what? I would think it would have to be overall-rating-based, otherwise there wouldn't be anything more than five years old even on the list. I think it's ...

Sailor Moon, way back when it first started airing. I thought it was terrible, not really worth watching even for the pretty girls. I abandoned it entirely before the first season ended. Then, a few years later, I'm flipping through channels randomly when I stumble across Sailor Moon again. I still ...

I think it's fascinating. It's also logical to name it that way. If not, then at least name it after the person or persons who discovered it. I would hate to see some stupid name for it. Yeah, like naming it after the Sailor Starlights. Teacher: Children, What is the farthest planet from the sun? K...

I know Japanese and I can tell you that her name is "ちい" or in Romanji, "Chii". Technically, the official english translation "Chi" is wrong. Actually, you're wrong. The sole purpose of the added I is for pronunciation, not intended spelling. Sorry to add more fuel to this little fire...

I've seen that before... At my old school in Canada, I had a couple of friends who spent every waking hour on the 'Net, and they found it somewhere. It was at least eight, ten months ago.

That's the interesting thing about this game, though. The first hit has very little to do with how far you get overall. Most of it has to do with luck, the other girls along the road smacking him, and the mid-air hits that the bike girl can do. It takes a while to get used to, but the more you play ...

So far my best is 10499.62. Got all of you beat by at least an entire kilometer! I also set my vertical record of about 264 m on that one. The guy was at maximum speed-ish and flew for at least 2000 m before he got anywhere near the ground. Then, of course, there was the "Type C: Parachute Death Sen...
