I went from "needs more Shimakaze" to "nooo, we definitely need less Shimakaze."

The X in Xmas still only stands for Ch though. It's still shortened. I don't think X is short for Christ, but I don't actually have any knowledge on whether it does or not.

That one's is probably correct though. You know the term "Xmas?" That's actually the Greek "chi," which you now know as the combination "ch."

Well, yea. Remember the game Cross Edge? One of the titles sued for containing the word "edge?" It's actually XEdge in Japanese, pronounced "cross edge."

It really is. I called it "zillia" for a few months after it was announced, until it actually came out. The Japanese kana is エクシリア, or "e-ku-shi-ri-a^."

What's ex-equal?

Hi10p didn't really come on the scenes until about 2010, so older encodes should be playable.

You can build an XBMC system, but I don't think you can do anything with an unhacked console. That's a realm I don't know about.

Chances are no, it won't. There's not really any real demand for 10bit/Hi10p/whatever encodes, since they're almost used exclusively with pirated anime (cause it just happens to work so well with encoding anime). So there's pretty much 0 hardware support for it, and no plans that I know of to support it. From their…

So Microsoft deciding to support the format with the Xbox One is a big deal! If you've got a digital video library full of mkv files, and you don't already have a dedicated and simple means of watching them, the Xbox One is literally going to let you drop an mkv on a USB stick, plug it into the console (or stream the…

That's interesting. On my 2012 laptop, it has 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 charging port, and 1 USB 2.0 port. I don't think the pure 2.0 port outputs more than 500 mA, but I'll measure it at some point.

I really doubt that's what it says. You're confusing current with charge. I'll use USB 2.0 ports as an example. The old USB standard sets the voltage at 5.0 V, and capable of sourcing 500 mA. This does not translate to 500 mAh, which is a completely different measurement.

It's not, but oh well.

USB port =/= USB charger

You're thinking of USB 3.0, which is limited to about 1.5 A. I don't think any computer USB 2.0 port supplies 2 A.

I hope you didn't mean to write 500 mAh either.

I got an email from Gamestop about 6 hours ago telling about 50% extra credit on trade ins between 8/24 and 8/31, which is a week after this launches.

This one. One of the more recent events was the Japanese Prime Minister honoring WWII war criminals. Things like this are why the Japanese apologies are seen as superficial. It literally is like if Germany honored Hitler.

But Magik was absent in most of the 90s...

99.9% sure that's Tari Tari, which isn't actually an ecchi anime.
