actually, I might cheat on older games. some of the gameplay on old games really SUCKS. games like xenogears or tales of destiny or final fantasy 6 or similar, they have random battles and levelling system that is pretty primitive and monotonous and not very engaging. I don't like to play those games with the random battles, mainly because I have so many new games that are better presented and more fun to play. I will only play them to experience the story so I must try and remove the random battles if possible. I also liked to try and game genie my old mario games to get a moon jump because it was funny. but we only did that for half an hour because it got boring.

actually no. I don't think the same, more the opposite. it's true of humans that we are remarkably adaptive. that is essentially what guyver is about. humans are highlighted as a species that was able to adapt to many different situations and environments. There is something that is true of humans in our safe society. When we see suffering, we amplify it to try and empathise. it's a mechanism that keeps us afraid of bad stuff so we avoid it. but those of us who have truly suffered, can understand that in a lot of situations, we are able to cope with truly horrifying things. we have inbuilt mechanisms to numb pain, to keep us going, to lessen the impact of trauma etc. it is fear that makes it difficult for people to cope. but if we accept our situation, we can often cope very well. I have been wrongfully arrested in the past, and was shut in a police cell. I wasn't scared as I knew I was not in trouble, I was innocent. I simply sat and meditated on past events. I didn't suffer at all and when they opened the door a few hours later, I was perfectly fine. that's not such a bad situation and I have been through far worse, but I don't really feel comfortable sharing that other stuff right now.

we don't need to worry about that. just keep doing what we are doing. all scanlations that go out to each person are unique with a code affixed to them. it's quite a subtle technique and easy to do en masse, so it doesn't take me too long but it's easy for me to trace it. people know that if they leak any scanlations they will get blacklisted so it's not a massive worry in my view.

it really depends if you think you can afford it. we can already read guyver in english so the utility of it is really not high value. the main value is convenience of reading while holding it in your hands, and rarity of the book itself. the company no longer produces then so they are going to be quite rare. sales of them are quite rare because most everyone who has them wants to keep them. I wouldn't buy it myself because I'm happy with scanlations and this is not as valuable to me as an original first edition shonen captain copy would be. mine aren't first edition, the earliest I have is august 1990.

yeah that sounds cool! I'd love to give lightning some new dresses! not like in that ridiculous trequel though, that was awful. I mean more . like in fairytail. heaven's wheel armour...!!! http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fairytail/images/4/45/Heaven%27s_Wheel_Armor.png/revision/latest?cb=20130303202012

thanks for the spoiler tag, It's a good choice. I felt a bit upset when i opened it so I closed it right away. I don't think I broke a bone, but I might have a tiny fracture in my wrist. I have had a injury from a car accident over ten years ago and ti still hurts now and then. I'm going for physiotherapy soon so I'll find out what is the matter.

I don't see the point to be honest. the only mod I would play is one that adds more story or more areas. I don't enjoy a game if I cheated. it takes out the progression and that ruins the game because I feel rewarded when I can progress. when I get more crystarium points I can add more abilities and I feel like I'm getting stronger.

I see! so pretty much mesh editing. using torus' for the organic bits is a pretty good way to go. especially using deformations. I think it might be quite cool to use a smoke texture for a displacement map if you want to improve it. it would give a smoother and more billious shape. I'm not familiar with blender though so I'm not sure if the tools are there.

wow!! That was incredible!! I love that so much!! I'm definitely gonna watch that when it comes out!!! I wasn't impressed when i first saw it because I assumed it would be catering mainly to guys, but it so isn't. it's like ugly betty mixed with one tree hill, mixed with ... so many series i really enjoy. It's definitely girl power! I CAN'T WAIT!!

Yes, I have final fantasy XIII on pc. I am not a huge fan of XIII-2 though so I am in no rush to get it. I might pick it up in a sale.

There's been a lot of debate in private with melvin junko, and we've been talking about the name for Apollyon/Apollon. There was a lot of t- and fro about the different reasons for one over the other, but what it came down to was, the spelling that Takaya sensei used is very common all across the Japanese language. it isn't a special spelling, it is standard and it refers to the mythical figure known in English as Apollyon. So hopefully there will be no objections from anybody if we start using the name Apollyon from today forwards?

what technique are you using? is it simple mesh edit for the outer casing and an extruded shape for the organic bits? I had a number of tries at doing a g-unit, it's quite tricky to get it right isn't it? especially the organic bits. Good work, I look forward to seeing your progress

well you like your privacy !! Nobody knows where you hail from, you're like the lone ranger!

I would for a shonen captain. But i already have two of those.

if they brought it to PC I would buy it for PC.

I like to play for a few hours each night. some nights i only get one hour. I don't know what the average is, maybe around 10-20 hours per week? mainly around 15 perhaps.

OH MY GOD!!! I am so glad you mentioned that!! That was the coolest video EVER!! never seen that before or heard of it! so glad to find that!!

I love teh dragonrangers costume, that is SO COOL. love teh new gloves and boots, so awesome. also I absolutely hate their version of kibaranger.

in pakistan? I did not expect that! For some reason, I thought his base was somewhere in north africa. probably a lame mental link with egyptian stylisations. very cool! how on earth did you find that out cannibal?? i mean, the exact photo... that;s pretty awesome.

I went to see this in the cinema a few months ago. it was pretty good. it's quite creepy. it's not an action movie, or a horror movie, it's sort of a psychological thriller? it really makes you question stuff and puts you slightly on edge. I think it depends on what you want from a movie in hte cinema... it's not a hollywood style thing.

Agreed. seems we have another name nailed! Clumegnik it is!

just found this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luggnagg a principle port in luggnagg is Clumegnig. so I believe his name is meant to be Luggnag Clumegnig. We've used the kurumegnik for so long though, it might not be worth upsetting the apple cart.

I believe we stick with the transliteration in the datafiles. kurumegnik and jabir. we have linked jabir to jaervil ibn hayyan or something like that, but the datafile says jabir so... honestly I don't know where jaervil came from. a google search brings up nothing of note. but there is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C4%81bir_ibn_Hayy%C4%81n

I don't mind if they just come up with good stories. I like capta and thor and ironman, so to see spiderman with those guys would be pretty wierd and interesting. spiderman sort of seemed separate to me, like he wasn't a marvel. now it will seem like he is a marvel. it'll be cool. I don't really care if he is in school, because we didn't see spidey in school. only some odd scenes like Matt said. as long as they don't have crap story like past films, it's ok. also the idea that he can pop in on tony and steve and thor, this sound awesome. I mean, amazing. I don't really feel like it's a 'reboot', I feel like spidey is weaving himself into the web of the marvel universe it is all new, but it isn't a case of "we suck, let's try again".

I agree with your sentiment but I also think there is another way to look at it. firstly, there is the enormity of such a fact, john connor being a synthetic life-form? well if the reveal was done well and if it was written well, it's not going to remain a secret for long. people would spoil it. so...in a way, they have engineered this to be the biggest non-spoiler in their movie. they can't 'own' the secret, so they are including this part of the story in their marketing. they are in effect, starting to tell their story before people have even paid their money. this could be quuite smart. there is also the thing to consider about teh last movie. a perceived protagonist turns out to be a terminator. at this point, the idea of 'revealing' john connor as a synthetic, is really quite crappy,. having it as a shock reveal would be very anti climactic and have people scoffing at the screen. in this sense, I feel that revealing this information now and not trying to make it a 'shock horror' moment, they have kept it classy and enabled the movie to tell the story without trying to be cheap about the story elements. I think the intersting parts of the story in this movie are the motivation of teh characters. why is john connor a synthetic? why is there an older terminator in hte past? what exactly are the stakes this time? it seems to be a much more challenging theme, rather than machines trying to kill humans, it's a question of humans becoming machines and potentially losing what makes us human. I think this is more in tune with our modern day world and far more respectful of our intelligence. it doesn't insult us by recycling the same old forumula whilst switching up some elements. it's actually written with hte intention of communication a message. whether or not it communicates this message well, is of course yet to be seen.
