Nitpick about Naoki Urasawa: “Monster” is not a murder mystery. If it has to be described by influence and inspiration, it’s a manga/anime that is a mix between “The Fugitive” and “The Omen”. “Pluto” is a scifi in the realm of Philip K Dick, questioning what differentiate robots and humanity. “20th Century Boys” is…

Are you saying this is not the usual MO for any PUG team that is losing? I tried MOBA a few times, as PUG because I don’t have friends that play this game, and this is like every single experience I had. The team is losing and one guy would spent the entire match berating his own teammate instead of, I dunno, playing…

Now I’m confused as if you’re talking about a different Avegant tech. I thought it’s still a thing you have to strap to your face. It’s just a slightly different tech on how to bring the images to your eyes. It won’t change the way you interact and control your actions in the VR world.

You missed some game changers:

The problem with that is that sleeping with prostitutes won’t solve anything. There are people who just wants sex so they just go for prostitutes, which IMO, is much, much better than being a pick-up artist. But I doubt people who stayed being virgins this long are just looking for sex.

That scene is very creepy while sad at the same time because you kinda were rooting for Tekko to not be a zombie. But she was. And then after you read the later chapters and Hiro realized that Tekko deliberately chewed the door frame to remove her own teeth so she wouldn’t infect Hiro when she bit him, re-reading that…

You know, in reality, if you see someone acting odd and the first thing you think is “it’s a zombie!” and you have to protect yourself and bash someone’s head in, there’s something terribly wrong with you.

But if it’s just based on shape they’d just be biting on corpses or mannequins all day long. It does make sense they’re only after things that are moving and in vaguely human shape since that’s how they spread.

Isn’t that the other way around? They might not be happy because they’re virgins but there’s something about them that made them unhappy AND remained a virgin. Being a virgin is not the cause but a symptom.

Here’s a simpler term: Sony’s ads are saying “Hey you, you’re a cool guy with cool friends and you should use our products because it is cool, like you”. MS’ ads are “Hey you, this is a cool product! Look at how cool it is! You should buy it”.

Not really. Quite a number of prominent writers, usually high profile ones, would rebel and twist mandates from higher-ups. Garth Ennis used to play around and fuck up orders to team-up whatever book he’s writing. When he was writing The Punisher, Spider-man showed up only to be used as a punching bag by the…

Here’s the thing. There’s a circle of evil that’s trailing the whole ads and subscription concept. A service will claim ads alone is not enough to pay the bills then introduced the sub feature. You paid for the sub feature, it became a success then someone saw there’s a way to get more income: ads. Then you have a…

Bwahahahaha! Sorry but your line of “This is taking something AWAY from the experience” is just too ludicrous. You’re actually saying that a video game should still be considered to have the full value of “the experience” to people who are watching someone else play the game. If they wanted “the experience” then they…

My 5 year old daughter asked to be The Flash for school Halloween. I didn’t tell her The Flash is a boy. I only asked her if she wanted it with or without a skirt. She asked for a skirt so we made her The Flash costume, the red and yellow one, except with a skirt. Her boy classmates did mentioned to her The Flash was…

When did I say it’s not a monopoly? I said he would be motivated to keep it a monopoly because he could get that much profit, as much if not more than the other people motivated to create a competing product. This is even a worse situation where if a competitor decided to get into the business by, say, selling the…

No, his move would motivate him to corner the market aka. create a monopoly. This is why the term “free market” is so dumb because nobody actually wants “free market”. In a true free market, his company would hold no patent over the drug and anyone else would be able to make it. But in that true free market, he would…

Ego, mostly. That and in some cases, very good execs actually knows the market more than the creative department. The problem has always been execs who were never proven thought they could do this just by the sheer might of their ego and also sometimes they’re under huge pressure to have the product perform as…

It might not be based on how big the corporation that owns the channel but how trustworthy, as in how many content created, age of the channel, etc. If all it takes is just who uploads it first, then any entry level programmer could run bots to upload random crap as long as it gets the earliest time stamp and troll…

More like “What? The revenue is off by 2.8% of projected target meaning my bonuses will get a cut and the investors will throw a hissy fit? Put the entire studio to pasture! Sell off all their IPs!”

The stereotype is that people who are racist towards Chinese/Japanese can’t tell their cultures apart.
