No, but there is actually a Woody felt toy I got on the day my brother was born also in that box. So close :)

My favourite plush is an Eevee that some heartless fool abandoned and put on sale at my primary school’s White Elephant sale. I took him home, mum gave him a wash, and he joined my Bulbasaur (who I found on holiday in Malaysia), Torchic (who my dad brought back from the US), Azurill (from a friend) and Pikachu (my…

Pokemon knows no age limits, so no need to worry! It depends on what type of game you are looking for. There’s the core series that I’ve described above and several spinoffs that have somewhat different mechanics. Unfortunately, some of the excellent DS games (like the remakes of Silver/Gold) are hard to come by and…

Cheers Patrick for the shout out and support for disability gaming.

So does this sort of rule out the idea that the NX will have a properly independent handheld component or focus as was initially rumoured? Because otherwise it would be really strange to not have Pokémon Sun and Moon debut on the console instead of the 3DS if the NX is also out.

More so than you and your irrelevant statements.

Which? Your incredibly wrong ones?

Or the electric wire if you’re in Year 1 through 3.

No. Figs are really good. And they always know when they’re ripe. ALWAYS.

My torn to shreds fig tree.

They are genuinely the best birds ever. And their chicks are so adorably fluffy with down.

I was expecting an exhaustive list of our fauna Luke! ;)

Do you know how sick I was of hearing about “feeding the quokkas” at Rottnest Island every bloody week at Show and Tell for the first five years of primary school? Fuck quokkas and the not-remotely joeys that they are.

No love for the Kookaburra? They’re at least less likely to kill you than a Cockatoo, who can be nasty buggers at times. Plus, kookaburras are fucking loyal. We once rescued a kookaburra, and its entire family—eventually three generations—started coming to our house for lamb every morning and evening. We tried…

The anime heightens everything about the manga. It’s genuinely beautifully animated and more cleverly framed and directed than the choices made by the mangaka. The story is solid, but the anime makes the experience better.

Oh yes, were it not for the writing, I too would have just dumped it in with all the other anime detailing centuries-old artforms set in the immediate post-WWII era, the preferred period for anime. What on earth are you talking about? Rakugo is literally one of two anime listed on MAL that deal with rakugo, and one of…

OMG YES!!! GEN 7 HERE WE COME! MAGEARNA OVERDRIVE !

One person sitting in one spot and talking for-fucking-ever. Really riveting stuff Morie. :P

Because SAO was an incredibly popular series and thus is a useful point of comparison. You are right though, it wasn’t that good. The Aincrad arc, and Mother’s Rosario were maybe the best it’s been. Then again, LH S2 was also a major decline in what made the first season good. I personally like Grimgar more than…

If you haven’t enjoyed it after four episodes, it probably isn’t the show for you.

I personally don’t mind the writing: it’s not nearly as on the nose as some series, like SAO, but obviously not as well-written as say Rakugo. My main issue is the “roaming camera” honestly. That said, if you like the idea of watching a…
