  1. It's not an epic or a disappointing ending. It's just "Meh" for me. Probably because all the people who ended up together were the people I expected to end up together. In a way, Kishimoto has a somewhat predictable story-telling style, for Naruto at least.
  2. Well, there is one philosophy everyone should live by when using the net. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Online makes a lot of things easy, which is why it also makes it easier to do bad stuff. And the way I see it, anything bad that happens to anyone online are usually the result of their own actions. Take the celebrity photo leak for example. Why would you want to store compromising pictures of yourself online? People has to remember that storing your information on the cloud is like placing it on a computer someplace else, where somebody else would be able to have access to it. One thing any person should remember that the internet should not be ruling their lives. Back in the days, we don't have internet to waste our lives away. Heck, we don't even have cell phones. We communicate via good old telephone. And playing usually means going outside with a friend and doing stuffs together.
  3. Highly doubtful. Despite her sparing aptom, she was still smug about it. But then again, who knows. Those who really hate each other from the start end up being close together.
  4. Some fat old man has some feelings too you know? Although pretending to be a cute girl is kinda sick. There are ways to go about this without being too insulting. Like Aether said, there's a more subtle way of confirming the identify on the other end. You just have to be smooth about it. The internet is a convenient way to express yourself but remain anonymous. In a way, it's the outlet to express how one feels inside without the backlash of society. As for me, I don't trust the internet. Sure, we have a few laughs. But if we are talking serious, there is a need for me to see you face to face. I happen to be good at reading people, I just can't do it online. Oh yeah, and stalkers. That's a scary thought. It's the reason I don't have an online presence on any social media. Google my name and results show zero.
  5. Because she realized Aptom saved her posterior once.
  6. Not really, Akame ga Kill is basically about a country boy wanting to make it big in the capital. Chance encounters made him decide to join the assassin group, where he gets the idea of killing for justice. It has some light comedy, and the violence is somewhat toned down. But it does involve a lot of death considering their profession being assassins. It's not ultra violent like Attack on Titan, and it's not so cutesy like countless other harem anime. It's also not dead serious like death note. The premise also involves imperial arms. Weapons that have special abilities.
  7. Fairy Tale has a fairly good story and strong characters. Erza particularly is one of my favorite characters. You have to admire her fighting strength to the point where sometimes I'm beginning to think that she's the Deus Ex machina. I've never seen her lose a fight. Ever. Additionally, I'm currently watching Akame Ga Kill. The atmosphere seems light but it's about assassins so expect a lot of killing. Didn't expect to like it much, but I'm already reading the Manga just to find out what happens next. Although the concept seems formulaic, it's interesting to see how the characters interact.
  8. Ok, hope you don't mind me asking another question. For the same model of a car, what engine variant would you choose, the diesel or the gasoline? Over here, diesel cost a lot less than gasoline, but based on my understanding, diesel engine needs a lot more maintenance compared to gasoline engines.
  9. Ugh. Bacon and butter. Although I'm sure that tastes very well, I don't think I have the heart to eat that. I'm a stranger to the fascination of Americans have towards bacon. I guess I never really liked bacon that much. It's just too oily for me. I have always been partial to dimsums. And to this day, I still pride myself having the best chives dumpling in town. I'd make a business out of it if I had the spare time.
  10. It says that the accepted forms of payments are credit card and some other local payment system. The only way that you can get this is through a credit card. You'll have to find someone who's willing to lend you their credit card.
  11. Personally I like Bioman, though not sure if it counts as part of the Sentai line up since it's not part of the "Ranger" groups. How often do you see a main member die in the middle of the series? Maskman also comes as a second favorite.
  12. I'll be in China tomorrow, but I'll be constantly moving so not sure how I can help you.
  13. What makes you think that this hasn't already happened? We have Civil War. We have Age of Apocalypse. We have House of M. Heck, we even have Age of Ultron. That's probably what Marvel Earth would look like if X-day ever did happen.
  14. Cabbage. For Salad? Have you tried mixing mayonaise, ketchup and small doses of sugar? I think that's what other people would call Thousand Island Dressing. That might help bring out the Paprika flavor. I don't think you would get the full flavor of Paprika if you only mix it with oil and vinegar. It's supposed to be a spice and not meant to be used as the sole flavor of the food.
  15. Okay, you've convinced me to rethink my decision. I'm going to go for the Chevy. But I've also looked at the Chevy Orlando, and it's definitely a level up from the Spin. Although it's a lot more expensive. I'm currently weighing my options if the benefits of the Orlando outweighs the lesser cost of the Spin. Additionally, I've been hearing a lot of issues on the side of General Motors regarding their ignition switch. Do you think it's still wise to buy a Chevy knowing the recall issues by GM?
  16. Not old moldy eggs, they just don't have enough sunlight on them. Century eggs are made by a mixture of salt and lime, wrapping them up for 4 to 5 weeks thus creating a chemical reaction turning the eggs dark green with a creamy consistency. Additionally, when making congee, you also need to have the right kind of rice. With different kind of rice resulting in different kind of congee. Normally you use long grain rice or jasmine rice. And yes, we also eat sausages for breakfast. Sausage with eggs and muffin, what we normally call an English Breakfast. Although I'm not sure if an English breakfast does indeed include sausage, eggs or muffin.
  17. Over Easy eggs - Similar to sunny side up, where you can see the yolk on top, but the yolk is still watery. Also, congee? It's the Chinese version of porridge. Except that it adds a variety of tastes. It's traditionally mixed with century eggs. Ooh! Centrury eggs. Try eating a century egg and then immediately drink soda. Any kind of soda. Tell us how you like the experience. Hehehehe!
  18. I have this thing with over easy eggs. Never liked my eggs scrambled or poached. One time in breakfast, I was served with a french toast with a whole in the middle that has an over easy egg. It turns out the toast was used as a mold to fry the egg. Very ingenious.
  19. Ah, but you see, that's the thing. Despite having similarities, the Toyota Avanza costs roughly around $19,931, but the Chevrolet Spin is only around $19,500, which makes the Chevrolet cheaper. The Avanza came out in the market first, and Chevrolet has dubbed the Spin as the Avanza killer. I don't know anything about the inside of the cars so you might be able to give me some insights. I have no idea what torque is for and all those things under the hood. Based on the specifications you've gathered, what do you think about these 2 vehicles?
  20. Since you guys are so knowledgeable about cars, I thought that I might use that to my advantage. Something that you guys can help me with. I'm recently thinking about buying a new car, and I wanted something that is practical, comfortable and affordable. I've been driving stick all my life so I thought that this time I might indulge myself by driving an automatic. Although I've always wanted a Lamborgini Aventador, that car is not available here and I would have to sell my soul to get one. I've narrowed down my choices to two models. The Toyota Avanza 1.5 G A/T vs the Chevrolet Spin 1.5 Gas LTZ. These are designed specifically for the asian market and I don't think they are available in the western market. What do you guys think? I'd like to know what you guys think about these two models.
  21. Ending of Blade and Soul. It's somewhat mesmerizing.
  22. Winds so strong that work was suspended. Trees were uprooted and littered everywhere. Few areas still without electricity.
  23. Don't you mean The Winds of Winter? And looks like GRRM might add an 8th book to the series. Dammit, I want to express my frustrations about a certain character but I can't seeing this as a risk of a huge and major spoiler.
  24. Obviously watching SAO II. Although I already know what's going to happen, it's still refreshing to see the story with my own eyes rather than using my imagination. Also watching Blade and Soul. Despite being adapted from a game, the story is quite excellent.

    Could this be similar to sniffing glue? Not a great idea.
