Yeah, along with the English dub of Akazukin Chacha (produced for Cartoon Network in I believe the same region), it’s been lost to time—the most I’ve ever seen is a few clips on Youtube, and it was deliberately excluded from the DVD distribution a few years back. To be fair, even before you consider some of the…

Apparently Chile is where it hit its apex in the Spanish-speaking world (or so I’ve been told)—not for long, but it’s one of the many mainstays of a generation that grew up watching television in the 1990s. I’ve seen broadcasts of it in Spanish, and I believe I saw at least a few episodes while living in Buenos Aires…

It probably goes without saying (but I’m going to mention it anyway?), but being an “otaku” in Japan is rather different than being one in the United States. Most obviously, in Japan, growing up watching anime—as consistently following major television franchises, the occasional movie—or reading manga does not make…

Part of it is the sense that’s rather “outdated”—the designs in Soulcalibur VI would look pretty at home in Soulcalibur II (or for that matter SC4—armored bikinis ahoy). It could feel like in more than ten years, character designs have barely changed, even as graphics engines and technology has advanced substantially…

For those familiar with it, the Kerberos Saga (from which Jin-Roh and a few other films are based) is...a weirdly good fit for a Korean setting, maybe even better than it would be for Japan, at least from a historical aspect. Basically (and this is most evident in Oshii’s Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, which I think…

It is absolutely coming out at the wrong time, and I say this as someone who is an unabashed FFVII fan, and still enjoys the PC version (with all its ugly, janky moments). It would still have been a massive endeavor, but if there was a time to put out a 3D conversion and remake, it probably would’ve been sometime…

For those interested, you can find PSFro consoles from small to medium sized sellers on eBay for $300 to $350 (typically new or like new) for the last six months, if not longer. So this isn’t that good a deal (though at least you don’t need to deal with eBay). I’ve occasionally seen one go up for $280 or thereabouts,…

Though I hardly desire to “exonerate” Paul (as though such a thing were possible from where I sit in the 21st century), I’d be a little wary of that guy Jesus, what a nice guy. While obviously they are inspirational and kind narratives surrounding him, there’s a strong chance the actual Jesus of Nazareth probably had…

I really want to do that, but for some bizarro reason, my PC refused to connect to the internet if I used the router’s ports. It’ll work if I connect it directly to the modem, but it refuses to access the ports. No idea what caused it, I only noticed after I installed a PCI wifi/BT device (I don’t think they’re…

Ah...it’s been a while since we had this topic, Brian (or it feels that way).

How “quiet” was the adaptive controller announcement? They had a whole segment about it on their streaming channel (on the aforementioned Mixer, and also their own website and this little thing called ‘Facebook’, if you’ve heard of it).

This, very much. You can put up all the faux-rage and indignation you’d like, but the fact is that a permanently integrated controller battery is, at best, a guarantee that at some point that wireless controller is going to be come a wireless one (if I were one for internet indignation, I’d say something to the effect…

Haha, well, there’s no denying we do really like baseball. And we really like Dragon Ball on the whole. I guess this was bound to happen at some point.

Yeah, I did a poor job explaining that. My motherboard’s ethernet can establish a connection provided I connect directly to my cable modem. No problems there. But if I connect to a router (and distressingly, I’ve tried this with more than one router), I’m stuck in useless circular error messages with no connection. I…

Looking at the instructions—would you say the process should be avoided if your PC stubbornly refuses to connection to the router over Ethernet, and can only do it over wifi?

For your benefit, we’ve already discussed this in the other post. The power of reading!

In the game, you can actually permit people to pass with spelling errors (and not be penalized for it), as I recall. Other times you are, however.

Personally, I think you might be—since the film literally begins with Savochkin’s character very clearly nursing a crushed soul as a cog in the state. His final decision (which inadvertently leads to the conclusion?) is very clearly influenced by the fact that he was frightened by penalties into backing out of his…

If I had to guess, your eyes (and their preferences) are different than mine. Personally, I encountered much this same issue about 15 years ago, when my household moved towards 1280x960 monitors from 800x600 monitors. These were all CRT screens of course. Going back to 800x600 invariably seemed “muddy” I’ll remember.…

I mean....I had a 1440p monitor. I thought that was pretty clear since I described +60 hz refresh rates (if there’s a UHD monitor that does over 60 hz, it’s too rich for my blood, and I doubt LG makes it). I still use 1440p monitors at work—though for a while, I kept my old one before eBaying it, which is why you…
