The Awesome Figures Thread
This is indeed strange. Kabuto was released January of 2010, that's just last month. Maybe HLJ discontinued it because of lack of pre-orders? But this item seems to be available in other sites. I can't wait to pickup my decade.

facebook
See, this is what I don't get. How is it possible to add anyone into facebook when no information is provided to determine who is who? For example, if I say, add me in facebook now, would you guys be able to add me since 1) I did not provide a complete name you can add and 2) I have not provided an email address than can be used to add to facebook. Again, I don't have a facebook and I refuse to create one.

Woot! I was just informed that my SIC Decade has arrived. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow since I ordered this from a different retailer. This is probably the last time I order here, since their shipment is delayed by one week, and they didn't even contact me when it arrived. I only found out about it accidentaly when I checked out their website. No Kabuto yet, but looks like Dark Kabuto d/w Gattack and Ixa d/w Dark Kiva is next in line getting the SIC treatment.

Full Metal Alchemist Season 2
I've just watched episode 43, so if it's going to be a 52 episode, then I guess they won't be reaching the end of the story that soon. As of Chapter 104 of the manga, looks to me like things are finally going to end very soon.

Wow, good for you. Then does that means you have an extra controller and memory card? Also, since you're not going to watch KR Blade anymore, would it be alright to assume that we can now spoil you with Blade? I'm asking this because the ending is a real shocker.

Naruto
Yeah, Ryuki, there are a lot of characters to look forward to. I'd love to tell you about an awesome fight scene, but I will be giving a huge spoiler so I'll just wait until you reach it. Just so you know, it involves Orochimaru and a few others.

Naruto
Ooops. Sorry, good thing I was vague, and hopefully didn't reveal anything significant. But yeah, once you reach that arc, your mind might change on the direction of the series. Anyway, while you're still in that early episodes, enjoy them, as those are the episodes that got me hooked. Perhaps you might want to discuss the progression of the episodes you have seen? I know I've been wanting to talk to anyone when I was watching those episodes.

Naruto
Aha, so you have seen the chase with Sasuke? Since ep 135 is the last episode that coincides with the manga. After that, all the remaining episodes are fillers.

American Comics
Again, the habit of reviving old threads is back. Anybody got updates of the recent storylines? I stopped reading comics last year due to unavailability of the media. The last I've read is the middle of Dark Reign. I'm not even sure where the Marvel Universe is currently right now.

Naruto
Ryuki, if you have not yet seen the last story arc of Naruto (prior to Shippuden), you might get pissed by how the show was directed. As the story arc involves a chase, which was panned out into several episodes, literally prolonging the arc. What could have been finished in a few episodes was stretched to cover a seasons worth of episodes. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Naruto
Shippuden is actually the time jump, and we see the group years after the last incident with Naruto and Sasuke. Storywise, it shows a lot of conspiracy theories, which I kinda enjoyed. But animation wise, I did not enjoy it, because the animation just turned dragonball. They are prolonging one episode to the point of being irritating. Of course this is my opinion. But for me, after watching a few episodes of Shippuden, I stopped watching and read the manga instead.

Dealing with Subordinates
Well, this person is a manager of a retail store. Think B & Q or Home Depot. I would like to use self help books from authors like Jack Welch (7 habits etc etc) and others, but I have never read them, nor do I like to read them. And I don't want to force others to do something that I'm not willing to do. Or should I? Too bad about Dickens though, since his Great Expectations is one of the best books that I have ever read. I'll consider Geroge Orwel and William Golding. I've always wanted to read Lord of the Flies, but never got around to it. Also, I don't think books by Dan Brown with a movie would be appropriate, since I am requiring this person to discuss with me the book, said person just might watch the movie instead. I'll consider his other books, but those books are rather expensive. I don't want to lend a good book only to be returned to me in tatters. I happen to be very particular about the condition of my books.

Dealing with Subordinates
Yes, thank you, that is exactly what I intended in offering the book reading. I can see no other way of improving this persons English than to force them to read. Seminars about proper english usage were already conducted but to no avail, especially when there is no initiative on the person concerned. At least by forcefully making a person read, subconsciously, the grammar and usage might stick due to familiarity.
