  1. Ha, seriously? I always thought it ended in the 90's and it's just getting popular again because of a random nostalgia wave.
  2. Well this happened.

     

    I guess I'll have to actually watch this anime now.

     

  3. I wasn't even aware it was still running.
  4. That doesn't make them against free speech. If anything, they're exercising their right to it. To believe you are right and they are wrong, and being able to explain why, is exactly what free speech is about.
  5. Free speech is what allows people to voice their concerns about what offends them so you're a bit off-base.
  6. $100 for 140 Though more often than not I get much slower. There's always at least three devices connected to it at all times and some, like my PS4, don't seem capable of reaching higher than 25 down. Ever. Still better than my old one where I paid $60 for 20 but got barely 8, if that, most of the time.
  7. It's been awhile but I think it was either Inside Out or Despicable Me 3. Two words: DANCE FIGHT.
  8. Originally it was a way to describe handicapped people without using a slur in an attempt to not be offensive. Somewhere along the line it got twisted to actually being a slur because people got it in their heads that being politically correct was inherently a bad thing. Combined with the fact that actually calling someone retarded went from being a simple description to practically a controversy and you have a recipe for bass-ackwards ways of not being offensive even when you are absolutely being offensive.
  9. Introvert by far. I prefer to be alone most of the time but when I do get into a conversation I can go at it for hours. Usually with very specific people or topics though.
  10. Geez. It's already been seven years since I first started coming here. Where has the time gone?

  11. Mainly the Media Discussion area. I keep an eye on the "recently posted in" area for the odd topic that will catch my interest elsewhere but I know the most about things like video games, music, comics, anime, etc. so that's the place to be. I used to spend more time in actual show discussion before I fell behind. I'm almost always far enough behind that everyone has moved on from the episodes I watch. Also randomly look at status updates. Ever since they were expanded to allow more than 200 characters they turned into legit posts at times that didn't quite fit elsewhere on the site. You can find some gems once in awhile. It can be a bit hard to get back into the swing of things with so many new faces. Good thing people here are generally pretty amiable.
  12. There's a huge Playstation Network sale going on right now if anyone cares. A lot of high quality games for really stupid cheap. I got Far Cry Primal, The Witcher 3, Dying Light, and Space Hulk: Deathwing for $73. That would have amounted to almost $200 without the sale.
  13. I still needed a game to cover the next two weeks until Spyro comes out and Trails of Cold Steel wasn't quite grabbing me. I started Far Cry Primal. Hopefully I can get the Plat before then. I heard it doesn't take long.
  14. She's become my new favorite character in the show. She managed to top Discord! She's a very deep character and even though she's used the same way she doesn't feel like an engine for friendship lessons like a lot of the characters, including the main six. I also like how her aptitude for magic pretty much dwarfs Twilight's. That's not really meant to be a dig at Twilight but it makes the show that much better now that she isn't the only pony capable of amazing magical feats.
  15. Are we talking like actively using it or also time I have the internet open on the laptop even if I'm doing something else? The results change drastically depending on how you mean.
  16. I just got to this episode. Overall it's kinda same ol', same ol' but it does make me hope we someday see the CMC actually physically growing up at some point. The entire season so far has made efforts to point out that it's been years since the start of the series so they're obviously trying to actually move time forward.
  17. Not in the slightest. It takes place in an entirely new city in the clouds called Columbia. It's quite a sight.
  18. I'm making my fourth attempt to beat Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. I've made it to various places throughout the game including the final boss but every time I end up getting stuck and/or losing interest so it never gets completed. Doesn't help that if your characters are over level 60 when you get to the final boss his level jumps up from 60 to 99. That's the only condition to release that limiter. It's Grade-A bullshit. Hopefully you get to Infinite at some point. It's the best game in the series by far.
  19. Once when I was about three or four years old I stepped on a dead on one the ground that still had the stinger in it. I was not a happy child. I haven't been stung since. I tend to stay stock still when I find them near me. Let's hope I don't end up on the wrong end of a hornet someday.
  20. A couple years ago I went into a comic shop and found a collector's edition of a game I already owned. I bought it for $80 but realized I shouldn't have spent that much money on a game I already own. They wouldn't let me return it though. "Buyer's remorse isn't a good enough reason to return it" was their reason. I haven't gone back to that shop. I get that they didn't want to be ripped off or something but they literally could have opened it to make sure everything was in there. Hell, it was still in the packaging they had it in. I understand their logic. I still don't like it. It was a horrible waste of money that I wasn't able to get back.
  21. Aaaand this is why I watch MLP. Finally getting around to watching season 7 and I've got this huge goofy grin on my face without even realizing it. No other show fills the cold recesses of my heart like MLP does.

  22. This is really what it comes down to in the end. Having all the different ideas and styles would be fine by itself. The problem is that half the time the game releases and it's buggy, slows down, and generally needs a much better development team behind it. Instead they keep passing it off to random no-name developers who clearly don't know what they're doing.
  23. I usually have some sort of handheld device to use, sometimes multiple, so I can just use those until they come back on or I have to go to sleep/work. There was one time the power was out for several days because of an ice storm a few years ago. Mostly a whole lot of nothing there. A few board games and huddling up with people for warmth. That was fun <_<
  24. I watch Spongebob while I fall asleep like 6-8 months out of the year. MLP maybe once a year run-through. There are others but that is the dominant one.
  25. It's a little hard to pick even a top ten. I'm just gonna throw a few I gave a 9 or 10 on My Anime List. Ah My Goddess Darker Than Black BECK Mongolian Chop Squad D-Frag Black Lagoon (particularly Roberta's Blood Trail) Full Metal Panic Tenchi Muyo (as a whole) Fate/Zero Girls und Panzer Great Teacher Onizuka Ranma 1/2 One Punch Man Drifters I guess I'll stop there. This list would be pretty big if I listed everything I gave a high score.
