I apologize, but I care more about the picture you’ve got there than the actual article. I have not even read it yet. Please tell me what game that picture is from. It looks to be from Atlus, if the art is anything to go by.

Yeah. Shit’s tough. But I’ve learned to just bite it and go on. I just started a new campaign on the Long War mod in X-COM: Enemy Unknown on Classic difficulty, had three dead in my first non-training mission and two in the next one.

(von) Karma begs to differ.

Exactly. They’ve left themselves one avenue to milk some story out of.

"10-9-We're not Bread-4-3-2-1" has two fewer syllables than the regular countdown sequence.

Well, at least they made the end of Season 1’s opening sequence come true. I don’t think they need a whole new season to wrap things up, maybe just a movie or two, the way Higashi no Eden did it. I was pretty satisfied with how it ended.

Yeah, Aldnoah’s music is top-tier. This show is one of the few where I enjoyed all of the theme songs. I would pay to get all of them.

Aldnoah.... well, the story crashed and burned in Season 2, though it did wrangle most of the viewers since Season 1. At least the mecha battles were still fantastic. It’s too bad the characterizations just seemed to have been destroyed near the end of the story.

But what if broccoli is my comfort food?

You mean something like this?

Still dances the Hare Hare Yukai though. Some things never change.

When I read the header I thought I saw "How I Got Over Being Shy and Embarrassed Talking to People I Don't Know", which in hindsight right after typing it actually still makes sense.

Ach, bayonets, don't even get me started on those! Do you know how many drive-by bayonettings have happened in the past century?! Dozens(?)! Maybe fives, even!

Alrighty then, that's cleared up. Thanks!

The federal government has no issue with a person owning one in the US.

Umm, thanks? I wasn't talking about the literal how, though. What I meant was, is that guy allowed to have that?

Pardon my ignorance, but how does that last guy have a flamethrower? Aren't those, like, banned by the Geneva Convention? Or does it only ban their use in wars between states?

I lost it at the very first one. LOL!

I've had three (soon to be four) jobs in two years, and I learned this lesson pretty hard at my current job, where my boss is Japanese. If anyone has seen the documentary Japan's Disposable Workers recently, the culture is pretty similar where I work. They will wring you for all you're worth, make you do jobs that…

It's kind of been done before, see Matsumoto Leiji's OZMA.
