Sorry about the mention of sexual abuse, but it really does make the most sense to me. It did to Zach too; we talked about it some time before EBC was released. It's a formidable weapon in breaking people, including children, and making them think that they can have no life outside of their trainin...

I believe we've had this subbed vs. dubbed dialogue before. not so much that. it isn't subbed vs dubbed. it's edited vs uncut. dvd's often have an english option but that doesn't change what goes on onscreen. Yeah. While I understand that Japan and America have quite different ideas of what needs t...

Re: First draft of "Differences" sections

So here's the kind of feedback that I'd like: - Are any of these just pointless clarifications that can be taken out? Okay, honestly, the entire section 6 can just go out. If you have a comprehensive list of what's different , then there's no point in having a list of stuff that's not different. I ...

Well, darn it all. You're not the only one who was late in hearing, Zaskar, since I just heard it for the first time here in this thread . Sucks, indeed, since it was such a good show (my mother, of all people, will be even more ripped than I am). Ah, well, at least it got me into reading the books....

That's another one I'm interested in (though not as much as Luminous Arc) for the future...if nothing else, to give my X360 some work. :D

Well, for starters, the US pretty much had it coming in 1979 when the Shah was deposed; it just took 25 years to get up to that point. So it's really no surprise that they were aligned against us. Supporting Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war didn't help much either, hence why they still don't like us. Heck...

Hmmm...intriguing. I wonder if Serak was a previous, pre-Luna human incarnation of Althena. It might explain the presence of Althena's Tears in the Serak Palace as well. There's story fodder here. :D Thanks, Kizyr!

Y'know, I would think this would be one of those occasions where people would be ready to sell out the guilty party in an instant, since if I liked on that floor I'd not only not want to pay a share of the dorm's damage, but I'd also be wanting restitution for the destruction of my own property.

Since I've played all four games, I personally am more interested, of course, in learning what was changed by WD in their localizations (other than the addition of the odd Bill Clinton joke or two). And, of course, I'd like to see as much painstaking detail as possible. :D For example, what was the ...

I'm going to say something that I say about maybe once every other year, at best: I agree with Bush & Co. on this one. Seriously, the current Iranian government (i.e. that which replaced the Shah, not necessarily the present administration per se) has been America's enemy since day one (almost l...

Having a conscience gets a person into more trouble, as Morhault finds out. But then again, he probably deserves it for having one while sporting a nickname like "the Fallen."

I used to shave about once a week when I used a blade (thank Althena I practice law in nice, uber-rural Western Maine...and never in court...so I could get away with it) because it was such a pain. I finally gave it up and switched over to an electric razor, and now shave daily 'cause I can do it wh...

Luminous Arc is definitely on my must-get list (especially nice that it looks so good because the PSP seems to be getting all the nifty RPGs lately). Somewhat similar to Kizyr, I'll be getting it after Lynne and I pick up Phoenix Wright 3.

RIP Robert Jordan...

Only 58, too. Not exactly a kid, but...geez, four years younger than my parents are. What makes me wonder just how shallow I am is, the very first thing I thought of was how, when I decided to give up on WoT after the sixth book or so, I basically said, "This guy has no idea where he's going wi...

I'm going to pick the DS for this for three reasons: 1. Existing user base. Good to have people to sell the game to, 'cause we'd want a Lunar game to be a success (or at least enough of a success in Japan to get the game licensed for a release in whatever country we posters may happen to be in). 2. ...

Odds are Incognito won't be in Hellsing Ultimate. He was created exclusively for the original anime series (he was never in the manga), and it's that "divergence from the original story" that the remake is designed to "correct." I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that arc w...

I saw the first one. It was good enough, but not really all that different from the original version (especially since the point where the initial series diverges from the manga is farther into the series). If you like the manga or the original series' first volume, you'll be happy with the remake. ...

The story hits the road, or at least the characters do in this latest installment, featuring more infantry-versus-cavalry gags, a thrilling civil engineering lecture on road-building, and revelations about Elia that probably won't surprise anyone except Tabren.
