  1. Yes, this does seem like a pissing contest. But one just cannot resist the urge to post. I will try to take a look at Binbo Danshi. It looks interesting enough. As for my recommendations, I would suggest everyone to watch Densha Otoko. Being anime fans that we are, we can relate to the lead character who is an "Otaku" (do note, "Otaku" as a derogatory term, not as a fanboy, as his fanboyism is really extreme), with various references to different anime. However, the story is not mainly about an "otaku", but how he tries to court a girl with the help of online friends. Ugh.... this sounds so like a certain topic I made which I would like to forget. Moving on..... I would also like to recommend the K-drama Lovers. Not really everyone's cup of tea. It's a romance story between a Plastic Surgeon and a Mob boss. I'm also looking into watching Yama onna Kabe onna. About two working woman and their differences in breast size, hence the titular Kabe (wall=flat chested) and Yama (mountain=big boobed).
  2. You definitely can't go wrong with Berserk. As for Macross Frontier, the Valkyrie designs were cool. There wasn't much emphasis on the mechs, but more on the character. And yet again, it involves a love triangle, a famous singer, the music and a Valkyrie pilot as with all the other Macrosses. The massive mech Macross Quarter was cool though.
  3. Interesting. I liked that piece. I don't know why, but it's probably because it was played on the piano. Here's one of my favorite from the movie Corpse Bride:
  4. Were talking about drama in general right? Well, here are some of the shows that I have seen. Masked Rider V3 Masked Rider Black Masked Rider Ryuki Masked Rider Blade Masked Rider Kabuto Masked Rider Kiva Masked Rider Decade Masked Man Bioman Goggle Five Jetman Fiveman Galvan Shaider Jiban Machineman Janperson Ultraman Tiga Ultraman Dyna Godzilla Godzilla vs Biolante Gransazer Densha Otoko (J-drama) Gokusen (J-drama) Nodame Cantabile (J-drama) Maison Ikkoku (J-drama) Tokyo Wankei (J-drama) Kimi wa Petto (J-drama) Deathnote Lovers (K-drama) These are just on the top of my head. There are others more. I just can't remember them right now.
  5. Just throwing in a couple of cents. Perhaps that Aptom's cells are being altered constantly. I mean, instructions can be written to the genetic level of the DNA, so won't it also be possible to do the same for memory? In terms of capacity, I don't think Aptom's brain being limitless. I'm sure Aptom also forgets somethings to make way for memories like any regular joe. My point, every time he gains a new memory, his genetic code might get altered to accomodate new memories. I guess this could be another attribute to Aptoms evolution, since his DNA are constantly unstable. Perhaps his cells work the other way around. Memories are stored in the cells instead of information like instincts and the like, and awaits instructions when the brain is formed. Isn't this how Evil Aptom was conceived? Am I making any sense at all?
  6. Don't we already have them like and ...... okay, so that's the only one. I think it would be appropriate to expand it since we are also catering to KR along with Guyver. I like the SD ones, particularly the Kamen Rider Chiva from Deka's avatar. Perhaps you might want to patern them on the Deforide toys that are currently out.
  7. I was going to suggest having another site where we can still make conversation when the server acts up again like it did the other day. But anyway, I play Farmville and Restaurant City. But I don't have a facebook account. How? The account I play with is not mine. Didn't bother creating one just to play it. Also, it will reveal at lot about me if you guys added that particular account, something which I would rather not disclose.
  8. A not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life science classroom, staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: “Give four advantages of breast milk.” What to write? He sighed, and began to scribble whatever came into his head, hoping for the best: 1. No need to boil. 2. Never goes sour. 3. Available whenever necessary. So far so good – maybe. But the exam demanded a fourth answer. Again, what to write? Once more, he sighed. He frowned. He scowled, then sighed again. Suddenly, he brightened. He grabbed his pen, and triumphantly, he scribbled his definitive answer: 4. Available in attractive containers of varying sizes. He received an A.

  10. 120mb may be big for an internal memory, but that just isn't enough for other storage. My phone comes with a 1GB memory, but it's barely enough for me. I use my phone as an mp3 player so imagine how much space it would require. Not to mention that the maps from nokia maps 3 eats up a lot of storage. China alone is already 500mb. But I guess this depends on each user.
  11. My, that is one frustrations about the E63. You'd thought that being an multimedia phone they would also include a data cable. Doesn't even have a memory card correct? I guess they call this "E for Economy" for a reason. How about bluetooth? There's got to be some way you can use the pc suite. Don't tell me the package doesn't include a PC suite installer?
  12. That's strange. I went to the official website of nokia and had it downloaded there. I'm sure E63 is supported. Yup. it's there: http://www.nokia.co.uk/apps-and-services/ovi-maps/downloads-and-services Since you won't be needing the navigation, you don't need an unsigned installer or hack your phone. (But yes, I hacked my phone). At first I installed the official version and it worked pretty well. Although it's useless for me since the map in our region is kinda less detailed. But it still works. I downloaded it because I needed the maps for the other countries (like China and Singapore). But I saw the map for UK and it has a whopping 156MB, 19.5mb for wales. So you'd expect a rich detail when you check the map.
  13. Oh, I though when you installed Google mobile, you also installed gmail. Anyway, I'm now trying to download Nokia Maps 3 (or Ovi Maps). I managed to find a crack that would allow me use navigation indefinitely. I think this will be very useful to you since it has a complete map of the UK. Also allows you to get your position even without GPS using your network connection (much like google). Just another question. Does your phone have a stop watch? Because I don't seem to have one in mine. This feature seems to be missing in some of the more modern phones.
  14. Well, I've been searching around and I've come across Nokia Maps 3, which I think might be useful to you. I think our phones are only preloaded with Nokia Maps 2, as version 3 is still on beta testing. You can download maps to your phone and use it for free. And I think what you need to pay for is the ability to navigate, which would be kinda useless for you. Perhaps you might want to try it out. I'll try to get my hands on version 3 when I get home. Also, how do you find the separate Gmail client? I'm using the default email client of the phone to access my gmail and I'm not really that impressed with it, since the interface pretty much looks similar to the interface of the text messaging.
  15. I see, so you really do need to be connected to the server, as the maps being loaded are real-time. That would explain the traffic updates, even though it's only available to a few select areas. In a way, to use google map, you'd have to either spend really less due to free wifi, or an insane amount of money due to data connections to your carrier network, especially when you're overseas. So your saying this is basically a mobile version of google earth? Do you think there is some way to have the maps downloaded to you handset so you can use it offline? I'd imagine the current google map would be worthless to you when you travel since you really need a data connection to use it, unless the city you are in have free unlimited wifi. I guess that would explain the 1mb file size when I tried downloading it. Man, and I was so hyped when you mentioned how cool google map was. But then again, I guess this can be seen as a poor man's GPS, that is if you don't account for the insane carrier fees. The good thing about this is that the maps are always updated, since it needs you to be connected all the time.
  16. You know, when you mentioned google maps, it prompted me to do a research. It seems that it tracks your position by many means, thru triangulation, wifi and GPS. This will be very beneficial to me when I go overseas, as my GPS map only covers my country of origin. I've also read that you have to have constant connection to be able to use google maps. I hope you don't mind if I ask a few more questions. How do you rate google maps in terms of accuracy? (how many meters) How do you connect to google maps? Did you download it via wifi or through data connection? Can you download maps from other regions? Does the navigation work well? How about the directions? Can you access google maps without any connection? (switching the phone into offline mode) I still have a lot more questions to ask, so I hope you can bear with me. Since I am on a post paid plan, I'm afraid of experimenting for fear that I will be heavily charge for the data connection due to experimentation.
  17. Hmm....Google Mobile. I'll have to take a look at that. With regards to the map showing your position, I think this is network dependent. Some mobile networks utilize this to track where your phone using triangulation from cell sites. I have friends who have a company issued phones that has a tracking device to know where they are. The only drawback about this is that you can only use this when there is a signal. Unlike GPS, since it uses satellites, can be used regardless if there is a signal or not. How long does it take to get a lock on your location? I'm not really familair with the youtube app plugin, but I can view youtube videos on my default phone browser just fine without any help. What exactly does this plugin do? I'm really interested in the voice recognition. Some phones already have a built-in voice recognition, but is quite sensitive and frustrating at times when they don't recognize your voice due to a runny nose.
  18. One thing about Nokia firmware, is that if you decide to upgrade, it will let you upgrade to the latest firmware, and will not let you choose. I used the Nemesis Service Suite to change the settings of my phone (change the phone region) to get my desired language. Though I'm not sure if there is any disadvantage about getting a newer firmware. Also, if your interested, you might want to check out www.dotsis.com. That's where I usually get my applications from. Although most of them are unsigned, so you sorta need to hack your phone. Got a nice Castlevania game there, Aria of Sorrow. hehehe.
  19. Very nice. Also, about the map, is it the nokia maps? I was told that you could only use them for 2 months and then you have to pay a service fee. But then, I wonder how you could use the map when you don't have AGPS. And it's usually a good idea to upgrade the firmware of your phone, unless you want to hack it that is. I only upgraded my phone's firmware once (if you guys remember, I did this to get the chinese language). Then hacked it so that I can install unsigned applications (I needed to do this because my quickoffice was not a full version, it only allows me to read documents but not create them). But £25 to get the phone unlocked? Isn't that quite expensive? We could do it a lot less from here. Perhaps you might want to try upgrading the firmware first, who knows, you might not need to bring it to a service center. Or you might want to do it yourself, as stated here: http://www.wikihow.com/Unlock-Your-Nokia-Cell-Phone Anyway, how does the phone feel in your hands? Not too flimsy I hope.
  20. After a long stay in the sidelines, Gats is finally going to kick some @$$. He gets to have Pirates as a warm ups. It's been a long time since we've seen Gats in action.
  21. Well, for one thing, Chronos is rich. the world if full of mercenaries that are willing to become hired guns. Of course when they get processed, it also makes them absolutely loyal to Chronos via telephanic waves of the Zoalord. Like I mentioned earlier, didn't they have a whole village that are full of Zoanoids? I seem to remember hearing from somewhere that they kidnap people in their sleep to process them, then return them to their homes. And since they're already processed, they are assimilated into the Chronos Collective, resistance is futile.
  22. Guy: How much does it cost to be zoaformed? Scientist: Around 50 to 60 thousand Eartho, depends if you wanted to have an add-on accessories like Microwave Lasers or Stealth capabilities. Guy: I'll have one of those 5000 Eartho sonic blades. Scientist: That would be 56000 Eartho then. Who would have thought that a serious issue could be so funny. I like those bills. I'd like to imagine what coins would look like.
  23. Didn't Cronos already had a whole village to test out zoanoids back then? Then after the world conquest, didn't people just volunteer to be zoaformed?
  24. Okay.... paper phone...... I don't know if I should take that seriously or laugh out loud. Seriously, it's a good thing to not rush into it. Who knows, perhaps from now until you get the phone, a new model that has better features and a lot cheaper might come out. Not to mention that the price of the phone might also go down. I noticed this particular trend with Nokia Phones, they tend to depreciate very fast. The first month their expensive as hell, and then the next, they're cheaper like they're throwing them away. Well, that might be an exaggeration, but you get the point.
