Though simple by today's standards, the opening to Exile on the Turbografx was one of the first times I had seen anything of that caliber. There is a huge amount of emotion and gravity conveyed here with just some simple stills. The very nature of the story was immediately much more mature than anything else I had…
I don't know if this information is still true, but I recall reading that places that have allowed this type of media to exist tend to have drops in actual child pornography and molestation. Apparently having an outlet for improper behavior is more likely to prevent actual crime than it is to promote it.
Your story is extremely anecdotal, by definition. In fact, when you say that correlation is bullshit, you are in turn dismissing yourself. I'm not even saying that your conclusion has to be wrong. It's just that when you say that the claim doesn't apply to you so it has to be wrong is very narrow minded and…
I (a male) almost always play as females. There is certainly a part of me that likes the idea of being someone different. Though I do try to make my avatar a least somewhat sexually appealing to me, I feel that my taste in women does not match the over sexualized standards perpetuated in media. In fact, my ideal…
Is there anyone else who actually could care less about the story? I loved both Borderlands games and listen to almost none of what the characters were trying to say to me.
First of all, I think its funny that this entire thread is about racism and not about the quality of the manga. That being said, I guess I'll throw in my two cents. Somethings are meant to be racist. Somethings are racist without the author realizing that he/she is perpetuating racism. Somethings are not racist at…
For the sake of this discussion, I will reveal my whole name: Johann Heinrich Santos. My first and middle name are German and my last name is Portuguese. Growing up, I bumped into my share of people who would make fun of my name. That's not my parent's fault and its certainly not my fault. The fault lies in the cruel…
Some of my favorite games (in general and in this case) are the Deadspace series. Absolutely no HUD. Your health and special ability are located on the character's back. When you aim, a small hologram shows your ammo on top of your gun. If you need to know where to go, your character projects a glowing hologram…
That second one needs the theme song from Flying Circus.
Or...it could all just be fashion and art. There is absolutely nothing racist about showing appreciation for other cultures. If a musician decided to do some kind of world fusion, would that make them racist since they are not being purest about each style of music? When a fashion designer says they used a certain…
yup, that's the Rapture all right...
Any arguments about free speech are ridiculous. Its their website and they can run it however they like. Its their choice to allow you to comment in the first place. They didn't have to give you that privilege and they can take it away if they want. Nobody is saying you can't badmouth an article or post, they are just…
1: The Kampfer is one of my favorite mobile suits. I've got one on its way in the mail as we speak. 2: COBRA PSYCHO CANNON!!!!!
I grew up near Fort Indiantown Gap, which was a aircraft training base. I saw these things quite a bit and the sound of their gun firing was very loud and distinct. I got to see an actual practice run where a Warthog blew a target away with that huge weapon. Though I personally am not a fan of the military (I do like…
The image is produced by a computer but the data to produce that image is very real. Its no more "computer generated" than a digital photo. The software he uses is to piece together the images so that they make a coherent video. The only thing that is artificial in these pictures are the colors. Electron microscopes…
Wow, what a very, very large pile of garbage. I don't think a single one of these shows looks remotely interesting.
I can't believe all the haters. Avatar is awesome, Korra was a great fresh start, and the writing/animation is still above almost all other American tv shows. Give credit where credit is due
(SPOILERS) I have read the manga and watched the show all the way up to what has been currently produced. I will say that it is true that the inner dialogue and speeches in the show are much slower than in the manga. However, as someone who has watched a lot of anime, I have gotten use to this a long time ago. There…
