Re: Rocket League

Just remember, the video for the song itself, the dance routine was stolen from (sorry, “tributes”/”was inspired by”) Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon.

Backing this up. My fiancee is a big fan and IIRC she told me they had graduated form their youth contract, and this was the next gig the promotion company offered them.

Trying to remember what my fiancee told me about them, but I believe they were idols who “graduated” out of the age/group/contract they used to be in (which was more bubblegum pop).

It can pretty easily be explained as being thematic towards Shinto animism or Kami.

This line just blindsided me, made me laugh aloud, and got me harshly looked at for being on the internet at work.

You should be more afraid of the Jalops

Though I’ve spent a decent amount of time there and am about to “marry” further into the culture, I didn’t grow up there. I don’t really have the historical understanding/cultural impact to give you a decent answer to this question, sorry. This one is a little too deep/specific for me, and I’d rather not put out wrong…

Personally, I disagree. I found this article rather spot-on. I also have spent a good deal of time there, and have a soon-to-be-wife (in 3 weeks) who struggles with this very issue of tattoos and hot springs, family denial/shunning.

I think I am agreeing/complimenting your argument here:

We said the same comment (only you were a good hour and change before me)

This sounds like a variation of what SE did in Type-0, when you have the option for further waves of bad guys, that grow progressively more tough.

My favorite phase of Ironman was when Tony Stark was wheelchair bound. Having a “flaw” (besides his ego) was good for his character, it set up a nice dichotomy, and it forced him to rely on brains when not in the suit.

Was using his skate like he did to kick the puck forward a legal move? I had thought you weren’t allowed to do that.

Fallout Tactics

Behavior based aspects of contract are probably dependent on talent level, if the person is known to have poor decision making skills, and how deep the guaranties are in the contract.

I disagree. There are some games I’d prefer a lets play or plot synopsis to actually playing them. Usually these are games I’m never going to play myself but have some interest in, and having these on in the background is nice while doing other things.

Well, the penis is technically designed for stretching (har har har...).

I spent New Years with my GFs family in Tokyo last year, and we had a lot of this style sushi with our New Years Breakfast. I had a hard time eating it (I’m too Americanized), but I did my best.

Sorry friend, but teens are going to have sex whether you actively try and prevent it or not. The best thing you can do is teach them all the implications, how to be safe about it, not hate them for doing it, and if you are open to it, provide them with the freedom to have a safe environment to do so.
