Yea, usually Smash Bros followed that, but the shock announcement last year followed by a same-year release was mind-boggling.

Nintendo’s recent E3 presentations have focused on things mostly coming by the end of the current year, instead of huge things far out. Makes it easier to meet your promises.

I’m not about to pretend I’m a saint in this. I’ve made a number of digital purchases in my lifetime (my music library is significant), largely for the sake of convenience, but still, I’m part of this process.

That said, I didn’t enter into this blindly. I always knew there might (and probably would) come a time when…

I’m just gonna be an old for a minute:

“BUT MUH ALL-DIGITAL FUTURE!”

It is broadly true that we have never owned the rights to the various pieces of entertainment we purchase; be they games with EULAs, films, albums, or what have you, we’ve only ever been purchasing licenses—and those licenses, limited as they were,…

Conflating the idea of a subjective judgment with an objective truth is more or less textbook arrogance, my dude.  You’ve cemented the truth of the first impression your OP provided.

Like 85% of my workout playlist is anime music and the rest in 80's and 90's rock, and know what thats what I like because it pumps me up. Who cares what other people think, its your music after all. If you’re not pumped up by Forces I don’t care who you are you dont got the fire in your soul.

I have 7,000 songs...half are Bowie...the other half are Nobuo Uematsu.

It’s only now I’ve bothered making playlists on my phone, and right now it’s only two: Video game music, which just shuffles music video game covers from the most part (stuff by VGO and Super Soul Bros for instance) and one of Anime OPs and EDs, which I always feel compelled to roll up my windows for.

The thing is that I dont think most people want Vanilla.  I havent heard most people asking for that.  They want BC and Wrath.  The game got much better with BC and then was awesome for Wrath.  If they opened a BC progression server that rolled into Wrath after a period of time id be in.  Ill probably try Classic but…

$300?! Holy shit I didn’t realize the secondary market was THAT absurd for these. Wow! Nintendo should do a re-release.

The entire original anime series (subbed) is also available on Hulu.

Pretty sure you can watch the full series on Funimation Now. Funimation also seems to have the series partially up on their YouTube channel - Specifically the first two seasons (Slayers, Slayers NEXT) subbed, the first four episodes of the third season (Slayers TRY) subbed and dubbed, and the first two episodes of…

It’s on Hulu I believe

Funimation has had the rights since ADV went under, so it’s on their streaming service (both subbed and dubbed).

The DVD sets for season 1-3 and 4-5 are on amazon. If you have the Funimation app it should be on there as well.

Was actually thinking last night*, how fucking dangerous is Vince McMahon right now? He has money. He has a completely vertically integrated media empire. He has political connection (wife). And he has the ear of Donald fucking Trump.

So, all the people who live on Fenton’s block know that he is Gizmoduck, but Fenton quickly puts his Gizmoduck stuff out of sight when his mom pops in his room. Does Gizmo-Mom know?!

Also, why after waiting for a game update to download does it take soooooooo freaking long to copy files or whatever the hell it does for an hour on some games for me? I mean damn, I can download a like 10 gig update in less time than it takes for it to actually install smaller updates most times.

“When he opens his mouth it’s a vacuous hole: There’s little room for a brain or anything else.”

Yeah, but I would’ve preferred seeing Donald’s hand-to-hand badassery and yet we didn’t see him fight off the other threats.
