I’m pretty sure this is exactly what they were thinking when they cast Fassbender.

It’s the ‘accuracy’ fallacy when it comes to live adaptations. You are correct though, the colors play a big part of it.

Ughk, another adaptation that falls into the ‘costume not an outfit’ trap. I appreciate bearing for accuracy but at a certain point you end up creating ‘toys’ of the characters being depicted, not actual, breathing, living people in a story. If you had told me this was an cosplay indie-showcase, this would be…

Fantastic. I can’t wait for Kingdom Hearts 2.99^e Epilogue Across Introductions for the Switch in 2019.

Wow, big thanks for the thorough advice. The post card thing is definitely something I want to make happen now. Good to know I won’t need an ice axe and a rappelling kit. 

Fuji-san is on my bucket list, but I suck at hiking and even worse at rock climbing. But I heard this mountain is ‘tourist friendly’. Can anyone vouch for that?

I thought so too until a closer look shows the person who drew these shaded them to be ‘inward’, which is correct; that diamond shape is concave because is actually the ligament for for the pectorals. As oppose to certain BlazBlue art in which that is clearly shaded as rounded out, implying it’s a muscle. Which is…

Holy Moley, Ken Masters is THE Barbie Ken!

If this sort of business model takes off, we could end up with an army of jacked otaku; jacktaku, if you will. Although I shudder to think of the violence arcade machines would incur then.

I am, and don’t call me Shirley.

I’ll believe that; I was aware anime BD’s usually upcharge by way too much, I was guessing that was a universal over there. If that is the case though then XB1 is definitely “officially” screwed in Japan. There isn’t even an alternate market to pitch it to.

That’s what I’m thinking as well. The logistical cost of this alone is clearly not being recovered by their current strategy. Surprised they haven’t cut their losses. I can’t imagine Microsoft being desperate enough to not just write this off and move on; they’re not getting Japan back and whatever they’ve tried…

Does anyone have a beat on the 4K Blu-ray demand in Japan.? I feel like XB1 could move way more units if they position themselves with THAT audience instead. That is of course, if said audience actually exists. Because really, when the Wii U is outselling you, you’re doing something wrong.

I chalk it up to the misguided attempt at preventing hacking/homebrewing/pirating. Sony loves to make walled gardens almost as much as Nintendo, but even Nintendo wasn’t dumb enough to cut out SD cards. They seriously overestimated their ‘demand-to-tolerance of BS’ ratio when it came to the system.

Is Hawaii Five-O too network friendly for you?

I think this is very much a ‘fluke’ situation where most circumstances a punch-through of any shape 0would be very flawed. I’m thinking there was enough force and energy in it that he cleaned straight through (imagine hardened bullets through car door).

I suppose that is something to be impressed about. If Olympic monitor head-smashing was a thing, this is at least a 7.

I still find it plausible. If humans can break bricks with their hands and wood with the heads, a low quality TFT and some ABS is well within the realm of ‘head smash-able’. Newer LED backlit panels aren’t glass in their core like they used to be, so really it’s just several layers of hard plastic.

Lucky for him that monitor isn’t a ‘professional’ version as their VESA mounts tend to be reinforced by a metal plate. Otherwise he’d have gotten something WAY more severe slamming his head into it.

It appears we have looped back in time and made Koenma fashionable again:
