Be a weiner: be a winner. You had to live in a time of shitty localizations for this to work.

Way back in the day when audio was bad and localizations were worse, “winner” would occasionally sound like “weiner.” A famous version of this was “A weiner is you!”

Comes from an old soundbite from an imported Japanese game where “winner” was pronounced like “weiner.”

There was a sound bite that showed up a lot in imported Japanese games wherein the word “winner” was pronounced like the word “weiner.”

You might consider doing an article on Japan’s laissez faire relationship to spoilers. With how often Japanese shows and movies spoil their own major plot points with next-episode previews, episode titles, and media hype, there’s definitely an interesting story to tell. And at the very least, it’d be a convenient…

I kept getting annoyed at myself for leaving the cursor up over the video, only to realize it wasn't my cursor.

Honestly the only right answer is to go dual ultra widescreen curved monitors. Build a custom desk that gives you the right wraparound dimensions to mount the monitors side-by-side, and have yourself 160 degrees of monitor space.

It wouldn’t be the number itself, it’s how it gets multiplied. It could be anything from an overflow to the wrong number being incorrectly defined as zero to a rounding error. The interval points to a counter of some kind at least.

I like how the second fight took two minutes longer even though it was easier... and if you think about it, the second fight took around 12 hours and 2 minutes longer than the first one.

Looks like there’s a counter that starts when the game starts and is used to calculate random numbers. When the number gets too big and is used in the AI’s decision-making, it ends up multiplying against something that makes it overrun the allowed number of digits it can take up, leading to a default value being…

It's only to be expected, now that we know their true nature.

And, um, how exactly does the videographer know who the officer is?

I'm fine with anything so long as he still has the opportunity get back to the third Zone of the Enders game. But since that's also a Konami franchise...

Technically all of these things have faces. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to be three-dimensional without at least a few of them.

The anime version of Attack on Titan being better than the manga is not controversial at all and it has nothing to do with anything unique to anime. It's all in the pacing of the narrative and other storytelling changes made with the hindsight of several volumes of the manga's story.

Arachnophobia had me doing this for years.

We also call them grand-daddy long-legs here in the States. :P

I like how the wikipedia article calls this "gregarious behavior."

That's definitely possible. I can also see them doing it to maintain the integrity of the storyline. It might be detrimental to have a major part of the plot revolve around a part of a neighborhood you previously visited and nuked with a summon.

Shame about that, I was pretty impressed with it until I saw the green coming back in... I wonder if the developers decided not to make it permanent to avoid opening a bag of worms with regard to terrain deformation and permanent alterations to the game world?
