Tale

Ultimately Ghost in the Shell is a combination Crime Drama and action. It was very much up front about that. They spelled it out pretty early on in the movie with naked women and an exploding head. Lain, on the other hand, pretended to be deeply philosophical when ultimately it seemed they were just going for a mind****.

I thought Lain was pretentious. It's nice because of its production value and trying to figure out wtf is going on. I bought it as it was originally being released in the states. I kept buying each new DVD expecting some sort of psychic fight to break out like the end of Dark City. It never happened, but I still didn't regret buying it.

I have awkward facial hair. My facial hair grows a built in goatee. It's a full beard if I let it grow, except on the face there's a gap just beyond where a goatee would end. So, my "full beard" would end up just being a goatee and really long sideburns.

I have Excel Girls - "Ai (Chuuseishin)" stuck in my head Why am I such a nerd?

God, Will and Pixies are making me feel old.

Sam & Max, but don't know if you would like it. Seems it might not be serious enough for you. However, I can heartily recommend The Longest Journey to everyone. If you buy Dreamfall, the sequel in stores now, you get The Longest Journey for free. Good story, incredible humor, absolutely ****ty graphics but you don't seem the type to mind.

Adveeeeenture games. As long as it's not a Myst game they have stories and usually more a focus on them than CRPGs nowadays.

You could start playing turn based strategies and adventure games.

Excel Saga How's that for a mind****?

Clone Wars was cool. Fair enough, but the Samurai Jack/Clone Wars animation style is pure ass, and hardly befitting for something like Transformers. No sense of proportion whatsoever. It's less visceral than Chung-esque animation but in an ugly sort of way, and far less streamlined than the non-chibi anime style. Heck, it's even more blocky than the original Sunbow designs. This isn't a redesign, it's mutilation: Prime doesn't even look bad-ass, just pathetic. Can any sane individual watch a Transformers show that looks like that and take it seriously? Listen to Walsy, he's *KNOWS* about the moronic execs, man. He *KNOWS*. I know it doesn't fit TF, I thought it did fit Star Wars though. TF needs a more realistic style. I don't mind slightly stylized, but not the superstylized that is the trend in cartoons right now. The whole Dexters Lab, Fairly Odd Parents, Samurai Jack, etc. style is only good for so long. Needs more of an X-Men Evolution style. Also, on another board someone asked how we would do a transformers series if we were in charge. This was my response: No Soundwave, no care. Just kidding, I like the ideas.

Eh, I've ruined my credibility already when I went around claiming that Jack Sparrow died at the end of PotC3.

Because it made him look cool. I think that's a good enough reason as any. Jaron: i also bash down all the doors i see Jaron: even if they're already open, i bash them until they die Jaron: we're in ammon jerro's haven Tale: That is awesome. Jaron: shandra is a hot *****. it was lust at first sight. Tale: I smell a long and fulfilling relationship. I didn't have the heart to tell him.

Venus would make for an excellent planet for 3/4 of the population. You mean Mars? As I remember, Venus would be a lousy spot compared to other planets and moons for habitation. No, she meant Venus. Trust me. Inhospitable planet, 3/4 of the population. Definitely Venus.

I have a friend playing NWN2, I see it on XFire, so I message him. Tale: Kill them all. Jaron: You are now in a No PVP area. Tale: damn**** Jaron: my half orc fighter/frenzied berserker could probably pwn the 3 of them. maybe. Tale: Such a powergaming whore. Jaron: improved critical (greataxe) Jaron: improved critical (greatsword) Jaron: monkey grip Jaron: two-weapon fighting Tale: Apparently you're not only a powergaming whore, but you're also severely retarded. Jaron: weapon focus (greatsword) Jaron: hahahaha Jaron: i'm teh awesum That's a nice feat selection.

Wait... you and Dark Raven? I didn't know, man. It was just one night, she didn't tell me a thing!

Diablo in a Fallout setting. But... but... I hate Diablo. *sniffle* Diablo is the best thing since Fallout. It does have a lot of fans. But I played II up until Diablo himself, couldn't beat him the first time I tried, never found the interest to try a second time. Edit: All Diablo players suck. You're less of a human being for enjoying Diablo. It's a horrible game. [ unflattering & stereotyped racial generalization removed ]

I only had the other one to torment Pop. Glad to see it was tormenting others, too.

I never heard about that. I always wanted to fix the guy who cross dressed with female armor installed and the fact that installing Tribunal broke the game's economy by giving you expensive good light armor for free, just for sleeping.

I should make a fantasy roleplaying game with only one available class. Postman.

Dangit.

Where is your god now?

My in-depth examination: Pretty basic, no negative side to it. Nice, but I'd like elaboration. How will this interact with the game's balance? Will my unique character end up getting his ass handed to him for not maximing his potential with carefully laid charts and spreadsheets? I'm glad it's not a clickfest, but can I still play my character my way or does "careful skill management, weapon choice, and magic usage" mean I'll have to lay my character out via charts and min-max to avoid disaster?

So far I don't see anything about this to excite me. Seems kind of generic. I'll look more at it after work. Maybe that opinion will change.
