My girlfriend's cousin went to school with him in California. She says he was a really nice guy, and didn't know he made it in the movies until she visited us in Hong Kong one day and happened on one of his shoots while wandering around. They spotted each other and were like, "holy shit, it's you!" They had a nice…

"Hatsune Mike"? Is someone hopeful for a proposal?

Uhh, it's just a heart attack. It's multi-purpose. "Hnnnggg" can just be super "d'awww", as in: "That's so cute I'm gonna die." Nothing overtly sexual about it unless you make it so.

I'm surprised there are more actual waking up jokes than dick jokes. I'm proud of you, internet!

If you confuse "d'aww" with arousal other people are the least of your worries.

Ayup. One Piece, though... I really can't decide. I love it but it's so flawed.

Agreed. I really wish he sat down and thought about his power system a little better.

More isn't necessarily better. Both series deal with fairly mature themes, regardless of differences in cultural norms. Remember, the first Avatar series starts with implied genocide. All the funny moments have the weight of that event hanging over them, so I think the humor and "kiddiness" worked all the better for…

I don't want your ugly kids, freak.

...dammit, I thought I'd become immune to anime cuteness after becoming a kindergarten teacher. I have been proven wrong.

As someone who has read both weekly for almost a decade... sadly, no. Naruto managed to world-build a lot better than Bleach ever did. It's almost as well-thought-out of a fantasy world as Avatar: The Last Airbender, with magic powers rooted in existing belief systems. Bleach has always been more style than substance,…

In Windows, as long as you have an "official" region selected for your DVD drive, VLC is also a region-free DVD player.

The internet was wayyy ahead of you.

This is why Chinatowns, Korea towns and Little Tokyos are awesome. I would be immensely sad if I ever lived anywhere I couldn't get a decent ramen within a ten-minute trip.

Anybody else having trouble with this video in Chrome?

I keep on confusing him with Scoot McNairy

Internet in Hong Kong isn't as great as it sounds on paper, if you live in an older apartment (anything built before 1990) you're stuck with DSL, which is capped at 6mbps. If you're lucky you can find a place in a newer "fiber-ready" complex but you share with the whole building. So the more people are connected, the…

I think he dated one of my exes.

Hmm... A 3D action-adventure game in the style of the Neverhood...

As a lifelong amateur illustrator who somehow managed to make it into graphic design anyways and now spends his days entertaining kindergarteners with his whiteboard drawing skills, I concur.
