They were taken down due to the recent incident. It is currently unknown if the site will continue to host them.

Mobile Suit Gundam - Iron-Blooded Orphans episode 1 is out! Thoughts? I thought it was a very good opening episode. A bit too exposition heavy... But That is kind of welcome after the train wreck that was G-Reco's opening episode. Also from what I've seen of the MS design for the series, I am also quite happy that I am liking quite a few of them. So far so good!

34, and still don't have one. Don't need it thankfully. Though my Dad DID teach me how to drive. Everything from a car to a big rig.

I think you are over thinking it... Though in comparing it to the 2005 anime, where she was a lot more clingy near the end, is probably part of that. I honestly thought that scene, while somewhat unexpected in how it was just "there"... Was actually kind of expected as well. You have to remember, Sho has always had a thing for her, and they have been in a tight group for the past few years, where in, Sho has saved her and her brother multiple times. I think after he reclaimed the Guyver to fight Aptom, to save her, that she was a lot closer and developed more solid feelings for him specifically. So I found it as an obvious progression. Sure, it wasn't handled well... It is a Monster/Action manga in the first place... But, I think that was just a simple nod to everyone who may have wondered if she was still not his girlfriend... Which she clearly is now. So, while they may never have a serious relationship talk, or even kiss in the manga... We pretty much know that they are a couple... And I think it isn't in her character to just be sleeping with Sho for no good reason.

While I will always be a Beef Burger man, I do love a good high quality Hot Dog (any type of meat). I grew up with pretty much BBQ dinners every other day, so, usually we'd have both burgers and hot dogs at least once a week when I was young. And it was glorious.

Should countries be allowed to have nuclear weapons?
Matt Bellamy replied to H222G981's topic in Philosophy
It's true that currently, they serve one, and only one purpose: Mutual Assured Destruction. All the big countries know, that if one launched any against each other, the other would surely launch back. This keeps all sides at bay for the most part, with only small incursions. The biggest problems are the smaller, more radical countries who threaten to build and use them. They don't realize what launching a Nuke could do to themselves. The most simple minded solution, is of course, get rid of all the Nuclear missiles. Which sounds great, except when you realize that the technology still exists. Radicals will still find a way to try and make them... Even if their payload is only WW2 levels, the technology still exists. Granted, the response to a nuclear attack doesn't necessarily need one in kind, but Governments want that security, especially when no one would trust that ALL nukes were destroyed in every country. I mean, say the United States just up and declared that they have dismantled all their nukes, and have asked the rest of the world to do so. No other country would ever do so. The US would be seen as weak, and any military excursion they might attempt, now has the looming threat of being bombed by a nuclear warhead, and they would have nothing comparable to counter the threat with. The moral high ground does not matter in a Nuclear war... Where only one side has them. And while it may be downright vicious and evil to use them on a powerless nation... The victor is the one that gets to write the history books. In a century or two, through propaganda and controlling the news, the "evil" acts of the victor would be more considered more "Heroic" than "Evil". Nuclear weapons are now unfortunately, one of those "Necessary Evils" of the world. It would be nice to not have them, but there is no way they are going anywhere. -
Save file corrupting glitches and having to replay things I've already done. I have tried to play through Fallout new Vegas 3 times. Each time getting about 5-10 hours in... And then having my save file get corrupted somehow.
-
Most likely Fallout 3 and Destiny... I put way to many hours trying to do every side quest I could in Fallout 3, plus all the DLC. Destiny, has really been hard to put down, especially with the newest expansion... There are times when I don't bother playing it anymore, but the DLC's have keep me coming back every few months to an improved experience.
-
Destiny. Oh so much Destiny. The newest expansion is a much much better game, and I am still finding quests and new things to do.
-
The only actual trilogy that I can say for sure I liked all 3 movies, is the Lord of the Rings. Even as a big Iron Man fan, I disliked Iron Man 3 too much and Iron man 2 clearly has problems... So i can't even count them.

Have you seen a FULL movie series in the cinema?
Matt Bellamy replied to H222G981's topic in General 'whatever'.
I love the theater, so pretty much every super hero movie... But let's see... All Marvels Cinematic universe Movies Lord of the Rings Star Wars Prequels All the X-Men movies ( including side stories) All the Spider-man movies The Expendables trilogy Oh god... So many more. But like I said, I am a big fan of the theater. Most movies I won't even wait and go the first weekend ( if not first night) -
It's funny... #2 is considered the worst, since it takes Dante in a much darker tone for no reason... Sometimes thought to be even worse that the DMC remake ( which I am in the minority, because I liked it) You mot have played much of 4, but almost the entire second half of game is played as Dante... Though I didn't mind Nero all that much anyway. I liked the first, disliked the 2nd, the third was great, 4 was fun, and DMC I liked as a reboot.

All depends how prepared Stark is, or if he is able to pinpoint the Guyvers weak point. Most Iron Man armors have a variety of weapons that could damage the control medal, like sonics, or electricity. But if they were just put into a arena, no prior knowledge of each other, and both were fighting to kill? Gotta go with the Guyver. It's quite literally a evolved weapon of war. The Iron Man suits, while build to fight, are not necessarily killing weapons. Sure, there are always scenarios where both could win... But I'd have to give it to a Guyver for the majority of the time.

When I was living paycheck to paycheck, there was a bit of excitement... Since I was ordering a lot of toys/figures back in the day. Since I have stopped that and started saving... The excitement from getting paid is no longer there... But has been replaced with a sense of security that, if I find something I want, I know I already have the money to buy it.
-
I have a few that I will watch all(or the majority) the episodes of at least every year... And a few where there are just classic scenes that are too epic to not rewatch. The ones I tend to fully rewatch are: Generator Gawl (in english no less), Gaogaigar FINAL, Macross Plus... And the first 6 episodes of the Guyver OAV. Too many to really name in the "Watch cool scenes from" series. As that is practically every series I own DVDs of, and more.

I've been a big supporter of Assassin's Creed... Played them all until Unity/Rogue were released. Also played some of the side story stuff, and they are still intertwined with the main plot... But I've not played all of them. Assassin's Creed - Flawed, but good game. Very samey in a lot of places, but the visuals were superb and the concept was all new. Has been overshadowed by it's later versions, but still very solid. Assassin's Creed 2 - GREAT game. Improved a lot of things about the first, and had a great protagonist and decent plot. Some of the time jumps were a bit jarring, but the plot was pretty easy to follow. This one continued and went much further into using real life events and throwing a twist on how they "actually" happened. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Technically an expansion of 2... But was still great. Some new cool features, and continuing the story of Ezio, who I remind you, is pretty freaking awesome. Assassin's Creed Revelations - More Ezio! Slightly older! Still badass! Had actual ties and missions tying to the first Assassin's Creed. The last game I really liked of the series. Assassin's Creed 3 - Poor main character. Too much busy work. Plot was ok was definition, but handled kind of poorly ( bad characters). Really, too ambitious. Only new aspect that stood out, were the boating sections. The "Modern" settings ending was pretty good though. Assassin's Creed Black Flag - Fun, to be sure... But main character just wasn't that likable. Took the boating mechanic and made it better. Pretty solid game, with decent characters... But Edward himself (your character) wasn't that great. The "Modern" setting was changed, and was pretty decent actually. Not as in depth as previous games, but was there and did forward some plot. Assassin's Creed Unity - Beside all the game glitches... The main plot is actually pretty decent... But the main character is a poor man's Ezio. Trying to be all cool and rogueish... but when it's been done better, you can tell. Combat was also drastically changed for the worse. Still haven;t beaten it, as I wasn't too invested in the story, and better games came out. I WILL finish it one day though. My biggest beef, is the lack of "Modern" story plot elements. Assassin's Creed Rogue - Came out the same day as Unity. Dumbest thing ever. I've heard from multiple sources that the gameplay is the same as Blackflag (Yay!) and actually has a better and more original plot than Unity (Yay!) and has more "Modern" story elements similar to have Black flag did it. So, I am actually not looking forward to the new game, Syndicate, all that much. Though the movie they are making with Michael Fassbender has a chance to be decent... I hope.

Before the Sho vs Agito event, I assumed it was going to come down to... Well, Sho vs Agito. Somehow they would have beat Chronos, and Sho would have to face Agito one on one. Now though? I kind of have a weird feeling that Agito's new change of heart, may have him sacrifice himself in order to win the final battle, leaving Sho alive to live on. Especially with Shizu with her limited lifespan and whatnot. But that is only if he is truly remorseful of his past actions, like he seemed to be after their fight. As, when Sho beat him, he was ready to give up and let Sho protect the Earth... But Sho had other plans. So Agito had his former ally/pawn, that he thought was weak and an obstacle to his ambition, suddenly almost effortlessly whup him so bad, that he was going to give up, suddenly share his new power AND say that they are basically allies (not quite friends)...? Agito has had a lot to think about, and the whole graveyard being built behind Zeus's Thunderbolt base, clearly shows he has changed. As before he didn't care if the Libertus and Griselda were using up their lifespan every time he used them. Now he seems to care more. Especially now that he knows, if he makes Sho come after him (by being evil/taking over the wrold), there is a highly likely chance that he will not survive. He always thought he would be the clear winner. Sho certainly proved him wrong.

Yeah, the blog itself has been removed. No post on 4chan (where the hype for their translations started) regarding it either. A shame really, as rivalry can sometimes help both sides improve... but just because the blog is down, and we haven't heard anything, doesn't mean they are necessarily done.

Let's not take this topic in the wrong direction please. Beside, Shyamalan needs to do his OWN movies, and stay away from other peoples work. Some directors need more freedom. He is one of them (ie his lastest wasn't bad at all)

Yeah, that was mearly a suit made for the promotion of the 2005 TV series. And from what I remember the founder of bioweapons.com, Dave Carpenter telling me once, those suits have a lifespan of about 3-5 years as the materials they use look great and are nice and light... But deteriorate much faster than even a lot of cosplays. So it's probably long gone. To get any full body sized Guyver costume, you'd probably have to pay a good couple thousand to a costume maker, as something of that magnitude would take a long time, and a lot of material. I'll put it this way, back when I was closer friends with Dave, he quoted me about $600 US for a simple Extremis Iron Man Helmet ( and if I wasn't forced to move at the time, I would have done it too). So, A helmet alone with cost probably $600+... On top of that the suit it self would probably 3-4 times that... So you'd be looking at something over $3000. Then the issue is finding someone good enough to build it.

I'll say this as someone who played the first (Red) when it was first released ages ago (OG Pokemon Master! ): I dislike the newer games. Too many Pokemon in total, but too many old ones making comebacks as well. I liked the originals limit of 150 that you knew it was part of the game. They were all original at the time, and everyone seemed to have different strengths and weaknesses. Like any series, time and too many iterations can weaken a franchise for certain people, and I am one of them. Don't get me wrong though, I have friends who have all the games, and still love them. If I had to pick a favorite though, it's gotta be Raichu. Always like the design more than others, and was always my #1 Lighting attacker ( was the ONE major thing I like from X/Y Haha...) And as for the card game... I am more of a Yu-Gi-Oh fan.

Jupiter, did you just try using the quote tool? We're referring to the reply with a quote function at the bottom right of the window. Which is still not working for me.

The Incredibles IS the best "Fantastic Four" of pretty much everything. I thought that was fact now.

Huh... It is not... I've not tried it in a while. That is weird.

I've not tried it, but my brother met his Wife online. Happily married 6 years, with 2 kids now.
