Totally forgot about that. Liquid vs Snake with 2girls1cup song playing in the background. Awesome.
Playing GB with one hand? There's talent.
It's not from an anime. It's from The World Ends With You, a DS game. It seems to be the hype these days. Goodness, months ago no one even talked about this, and now it's just flooded people's sigs and avatars--even usernames.
I find myself being amused if during the epic slow-motion punching scenes between Snake and Liquid you have a random "You unlocked a trophy! - Liquid Killer" showing up on the top right of the screen.
I remember watching this earlier today. One of the many steps that will make Playstation 360 owners like myself start thinking twice about which console to buy multiplatform games for.
Like a drum set that actually resembles a drum set.
Could've fooled me with a hilarious one-liner like that, striked out or not.
Just a correction: If we consider Kairi as a Japanese origin, it on its own does *not* mean Ocean/sea. "Kairi" specifically means Ocean/Sea Village if you write it in the appropriate characters: 海里 海 'kai' meaning "Sea/Ocean" 里 'ri' meaning "Village" 海 if written on its own can still mean sea/ocean, but it would be pronounced 'umi' instead of 'kai', so it'd be impossible for "Kairi" to mean sea/ocean as it is.
I love this response, because it's absolutely ignorant. Did it ever occur to you to remember that the developers of KH are Japanese? This game is made in Japan. How is it selfish for the Japanese people to make a game just for themselves? It's their choice if they want to expand the game overseas, but bear in mind that it costs a substantial amount of money to do so. There is no selfishness is making a game for just your country if you cannot afford the time or money to bring it to anyone else. Their resources. Their money. Their time. Their country. If you want to play this game so bad, *you* get off your behind and import the game. Square-Enix has *no* obligation to bring it over to North America. As for the point of them 'making more money' if they brought it here, that's underestimating the resources that goes into bringing a game overseas, as well as overestimating the North American appeal for remakes.
I'd agree with your first two points, but the last two seem unlikely. There isn't any online currency because the point is they *want* you to pay for their additional services. They could make some sort of credit system like $20 bucks = 10 credits, but that'd be pointless since you're using your own money to buy stuff anyway. As for the last point, custom phrases would be practically impossible since it would require a voice actor to come in and record whatever phrase you specifically wanted. Profanity aside, that's just a lot of resources wasted on a single player on the network.
It wouldn't solve anything. I'm pretty sure the only reason you asked such a question is because knives have a history of being used to kill other people. Screwdrivers can be used to inflict fatal wounds on people as well, so should we be required a license to buy and use screwdrivers too then? Slippery slope argument. The moment you let one thing go, there are other things you'll have to consider. This is why things like abortion and euthanasia are sensitive topics. Some parents aren't fit to raise children and are taken away by social workers. Should we be required to have a license to have children?
I'm assuming by subscription you mean free. Granado Espada is kinda the only one I'd reccommend. ... Private RO servers maybe? O.o There's a lot of trashy ones, but some are quite well-run.
News reports say that downloadable content is completely doable (in fact, I think they hinted that Raiden might be a possibility as an NPC in some form or another), and that MGO would be supported potentially up to 10 years. I've only played MGO once or twice, and I wouldn't mind playing it more but there is a severe lack of players on the servers at the moment. I personally haven't had problems, but many are lagging out of games and thus the appeal to play the game hasn't been as high as it could be. Konami I believe is aware of this and is working on fixing it--one can hope.
No. Who are you?
Too much repetition. I would've liked it more if he crammed more material into that rant. In short, Randy Jackson is the new spokesperson for Oreo cookies ... x50.
Law is forced to go by numbers because it's something that can be proven and can be placed on paper with little means of being refuted. I agree with you that one's maturity is not always related to one's age, but when in the case of using the law as a means to govern a society, we need to have a stable means to justify the verdict. You can't refute that someone born in 1987 is or is going to be 21 this year. Thus when judging a case of someone drinking alcohol; it can be determined that yes, he/she is legal to be doing so. It'd be somewhat chaotic if our ability to vote, smoke, drink, etc was based solely on the testimony of a single or a group of individuals. This is because our maturity is then a measurement of someone's perception and not anything concrete. A human testimony that one is 'mature enough' to be driving a car might not be the same as someone else's, so who is right in this case? And does that makes said person really mature enough to handle the responsibility or not? That's where age comes in. As of 2008, anyone born 1992 or earlier can legally drive a car. It doesn't matter if you're a Buddhist who believes in reincarnation, or if you're an atheist who believes no supreme deity exists; it doesn't matter what morals or values you have: they can all agree that someone who is born in 1992 is or is going to be 16 this year. That's what makes using numbers so powerful in the law system. Of course, I'm not saying that every 16 year old *may* be mature enough to drive a car, but what ends up happening is that there is an *obligation* to reach a certain level of maturity at 16, which may or may not be met. This then puts the responsibility on the individual, and not the law system, to ensure that people are capable of handling the privileges given to them. Proving one's age can be accepted universally, but there is no universal system to measure one's mental capacity. Maturity is subjective and we all are entitled to our own opinions of what is mature, but that's something the law cannot afford to have.
Actually, the last line is straight out of 2nd year Psychology Research Methods.
On the contrary, the world is as complicated as you want to make it. Human nature can't be validated, so trying to justify the uncertainty of human nature to validate your being human is also, invalid. If X occurs because of Y, then Y is sufficient for X to occur, but does not reflect causality.
Your logic is flawed, non-human. You have too many statements that don't relate, and thus can't be validated.
Women =/= Men. Men = Human Being. Therefore: Women =/= Human Being. :ninjacat:
