Fate/stay night

1 year 3 months ago

"I loved this anime, I gotta say the anime itself really captivated me. I really hope that they could make a sequel to this, cause I wasn't particularly satisfied with the ending, or maybe it's the whole concept of knowing that Archer is future Shirou, or the part that Shirou seems so calm about not ending up with Saber, or the fact that the Holy Grail war isn't actually over since the grail was destroyed also in a previous war (I may be wrong), it just left too many open ends.

By the way, where can I get the fate stay night game in english? Is it possible or do I have to learn Japanese to be able to play it? xD"

Hard to feel sorry for Yoshida...

"She annoys me. Her constant whinning, her constant moping, it's just...urgh.

Yes true, maybe she is there for the love triangle so that the series doesn't become to dull and straightforward but damn! Can she be any more annoying?"

The feeling after the ending of Season 2

1 year 3 months ago

"I'm hoping for a season 3 as well. Let's hope it comes out.

Well, the feeling is that first Yuuji isn't a complete nobody anymore (well, we knew he wasn't), i mean now he can fight and fend off for himself. So that's a plus, also that Shana (as it's been pointed out) has changed as is more willing to do things to try and please Yuuji, my dislike for Kazumi just grew more, I see her more as a obstacle in the anime, although you can interpret her as the voice of the 'common person' but whatever. Yet, season 2 left me wanting for more, the story was left so open in the sense that there's more to come, so hopefully there will be more ^^"

claymore anime S2

1 year 3 months ago

"I'm hoping for a second season. I still haven't read the manga but I also did not appreciate the ending of claymore, it was of considerable lower quality than the rest of the 24 previous episodes. The anime left it pretty open for a second season, so I'm hoping for that or for some OVAS until they wait for the manga to have enough material."

Damn you spyware/malware!

1 year 3 months ago

"If there's one thing I absolutely hate more than viruses in the computerized world is spyware/malware. Cause in a sense they are 'legal' viruses that companies throw to you to keep a record and be capable of diverting your internet flow/throwing advertisements/installing that company's products, etc...

The issue is anti-virus programs such as Eset Nod32 or Kaspersky sometimes don't recognize spywares since they're not exactly programmed like a virus, thus they enter your system and create havoc. I was recently infested with a spyware that leeched out my internet speed, redirected me to this blasted page and turned my 20 latency score up to 9500!

The pain was the removal, apart from un-installing the programs this spyware put in, I had to search the system registry and eliminate all trace of it, also had to do a system restore for my pc to be back up and functioning. Ah whatever, I'm gonna format soon anyways, I rather have the thing clean once again.

So, any of you had unpleasant experiences with these blasted things?"

No n00bs! O.o

1 year 3 months ago

"Well, as the title says here I want to ask how many gamers out there suffered those days when you were still noobs at a particular game and played on the net against other people? I used to be a noob at some games but not anymore, with time you improve and become better at it. However, during the times when I was a noob it was tough, cause noob games weren't too common and additionaly you had intermediate players entering noob games to pwn us all, they seemed to get a kick out of beating the shit out of noobs.

I also noticed how the term 'noob' is used as a way to insult a gamer, and it's one of the worst insults you can give them. Many times when I'm in pro games and a team member is playing bad due to a bad day or the opponent is simply better, they begin to call him 'noob', which the targeted gamer takes very seriously as an offense. It's happened once to me in a pro level game as well, the guys in it were just better than me, they probably were 'leet pros' xD

So it's interesting how when you're a noob, you actually protect yourself with that term by saying 'give me a break, I'm a noob' yet when you improve your level you must do all the possible to not be referred as a noob. Natural progression you say? Maybe.

So, have any of you had this sort of experience before? In any of the levels?"

Your desired living environment

How does you family feel about Anime?

1 year 3 months ago

"Hmmm, a friend of mine got me into anime. And I began watching it, at first my parents couldn't understand how their 17 year old son was watching 'cartoons', but I stated the difference between cartoons and anime to them and they accept it now and actually my mother has been curious and has asked me if she could see some anime shows. My dad in exchange has too much things on his mind, he doesn't have the time.

I was a loner until I hooked my brother to anime (he used to think anime was crap, until I showed him Full metal Panic! xD), but then I left to another country for University, he kept watching some anime, but it seems that he wasn't 100% pulled into it just yet, however he did state that when he comes to the Uni I'm in he expects me to show him some of the best anime shows that I have xD I guess my anime loning days are close to over, although I like watching anime alone, so maybe not O.o"

Do you laugh alone in the street?

The Dark Knight

"Finally they make a Batman as dark as in the comics that I used to collect. I found it an attractive movie, with that sick twist at the end, but that's what makes batman batman, that he's the misunderstood hero just like in the comics (yeah, I collected them when I was smaller).

I personally liked the movie, I found it pretty good.

Do you feel like your life is like an Anime, Drama wise?

the difference between anime and regular cartoons

1 year 3 months ago

"Additionaly anime generally explores many difficult topics that cartoons don't. Take Evangelion or Full metal alchemist for instance, they challenge the idea of existencialism, the moralities of what you should and should not do to accomplish your goals. They actually make you think, that's one of the major differences between anime and cartoons. Anime is designed (generally, not all) to make you think about different issues that cartoons barely even touch. Cartoons are done for entertainment purposes and yes, with advice as well for younger audiences, whereas anime is not only entertainment but to challenge the minds from young audiences to adults. "

Betrayal!

1 year 3 months ago

"Arthurgomes, if you have forgiven her then that's very admirable of you. However I personally do not believe that you should be getting together with her. Trust in each other is one of the most important things in relationships, she may have learnt from what she did before but if she has broken your trust she can do so again at a crucial moment (say when you two have an argument).

You are more of a solitary person, so am I. We need someone who can understand that part of us and not go seeking other things with other people if they said that they accepted us. Otherwise they never truly accepted you. For your sake, don't get back with her, it will cause more pain in the coming future.

Cheers,

where are the heroes

1 year 3 months ago

"I live in a country that has deteriorated in terms of security. We've got more crimes than ever, and the people in charge have been corrupted with the power that they've possessed. People who have been caught as murderers are free in the coming week, while people who steal a loaf of bread are put for 6 months in jail...not logical...

If you want a hero you cannot wait, you must stand up and be the hero or part of the movement. Here we're slowly regaining the tranquility that was the country before, slowly we're removing from power the corrupt people, and cleaning the streets of the pests that are the rapists, murderers and thieves.

Why did it get like this? Because people simple 'waited for a saviour to come'. Only now do we, (the young adult generation) understand that that saviour won't come, and it's up to us to do the change. We may not be successful, but if we manage to be the incentive for the younger generation to continue the move then we're confident we can bring order back to this place that we love so much.

I agree with DistortionL05 there. Although the law should be handled by proper law trained personel there are times when the normal citizen has to take action. You must take action in any way possible, contact authorities, create movements or do the dirty work yourself.

I disagree with you Silenced. To move away is to simply let the issue manifest there and later spread to wherever you go, you must fight, humans indeed are the cruelest and most pitiful creatures on the earth, but it's also humans that know how to fight in the face of adversity. If you surrender then what's the point of living if later the corrupt world will spread wherever you go? "

Ethics in Mexico

1 year 3 months ago

"I know what you mean. When I was living in Indonesia and Thailand people generally bought pirated stuff. Sure it's cheap, and you can get pretty good quality and heck I used to do it simply cause I didn't have money. But now I realized that that's the sort of thing that prevents good movies or anime from continuing and coming out since the incentive will be lost if people will simply pirate it.

Now don't get me wrong, I can understand in situations why people buy pirated stuff (as I said, I used to do it), but if you have the ability to buy the originals or licensed why not do it? So far I've been an anime leecher, simply downloading the fansubs and all, but I'm already starting to buy the licensed anime and music even if I already watched the anime. It's just right to pay the people for their job in this case, and I'd love to see sequels to the anime I've watched which have a good chance.

Well, I'm living in a hispanic country right now, Chile. And I gotta say, people don't buy pirated stuff here cause they tend to be pretty bad quality XD Best to stick to the originals here, which thank God it ain't too expensive."

Addictions

"Heh, I used to be addicted to pc games, but those were the days when I was a hardcore gamer and was in tournaments and stuff. But you kinda grow out of it, not completely but mostly. You begin to see that there's other things that occupy you more or which are in higher priority.

I hardly get addicted to stuff, the pc gaming years were short but intense. If I would have to say an addiction now I'd have to say sports. I am totally addicted to that xD"

Time travelling

1 year 8 months ago

"In basic physics the theory goes like this,

As evilmaniac pointed out, when an object approaches a fraction of the speed of light, time slows down in relation to the object, but not to the environment surrounding it. That's allright, however according to our understandment of physics right now it should be impossible to timetravel, why? Cause when an object approaches a fraction of that of the speed of light it gains mass, yet how do you keep that mass going? Well, fueling it with more energy, so what does this mean? That to get an object of mass 'x' to the speed of light you'll need infite energy since the mass will become infinite as well...yeah, kinda sucks to see it that way.

But hey, that's what our basic understanding of physics are at the moment, after all light has been argued to be in the 4th dimension, since it acts as a wave and as a frequency (something that nothing else does). So if light is in the 4th dimension what can that mean? It means that light is in direct ability to alter time itself, cool eh?

Well I don't close off any possibilities, maybe we may not reach the speed of light, but we could probably bend the fabric of space itself to go back or forth in time or travel to far away places in a blink of an eye...we'll just have to see (if we're still alive that is xD)"

I did and I was in complete shock! They ALL, that's 100% of them thought that I was either gay or bi! I was like "really...huh! that's interesting." Even my sis say that she thinks I have an inclination to swing that way. And by the way I never said I wasn't!
