    Code geass may or maynot be one of the serials I like depending on ending.

    If he is alive in end, it is not. If he died, then it is good.
    [/spoiler]

    As there is no way to know it, it will always end up in my "Unaligned" alignment category. If however, next part comes and resolves the cliffhanger, I might be able to judge how it was.

    But Monty python and holy grail will always be my best forevah - no arguments there.

    edit: if anyone disagrees, I will just <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> in their general direction. Now go away before I taunt you a second time.

    Gamewise... Replay Icewind Dale I and II. Maybe play trough NwN2 again. And Baldu'rs Gate overhaul if I get the chance.

    Disregarding obvious heresy, what part of Code Geass sucks?

    Well, for one that post by me was an obvious troll just so I could post a Gundam pic b:laugh (The "kinda sucks" party anyway, I needed a strong enough opening to wage war in giant machine suits. Plus I just had to poke a bit of good-natured fun at a "best ever" post.)

    I do have to say though that it isn't on my top 10 list, and while it may be decent and popular, it never really interested me enough to actually watch the whole thing. Plus, reports from reviewers I tend to trust led me to ignore the thing entirely. I tend to value a consistent story and good writing, and that wasn't one of the reported highlights.

    But hey, fans will be fans, may your drill pierce the heavens and whatnot ;) Whoops wrong series.

    Lots of gaming goodness, too much to play all, this months gaming. Torchlight II (completed first time through with the Engineer last night), DDO (not a lot, once a week), STO (toying with this to get a feel for how PW and Cryptic handle things), Skyrim, Test Drive 2, Civ 4, Rise of Flight (test flighting this) and finally my MAME cabinet where I have over 1000 arcade games (currently playing Mr Do, Missile Command, and Bubble Bobble. So, keeping busy and out of trouble.

    Realy, you'll blast Akaira, yet give creedance to Wendy, Marvin and Wonderdog? A freakin caped DOG versus a movie with social and world dynamics which is one of the top animated movies of all time? Four superheroes made from the "cosmic forces of the universe" made for kids versus material made for people in their mid twenties to mid fifties with heart-wrenching storylines? Short of Ted Knight, Superfriends was a hack job, including Adam West doing Batman and Casey Kasam as Robin. And it's not like that was the only animated DC show with them which were mountains above Superfriends (cheesy sometimes but at least almost believable as those other cartoon shows go not some secret social preachy edutainment prototype: Don't go to mars, fix the earth. Save the intelligent trees. Photosynthesis. Geez, I could almost smell the patchouli from those hippie writers :p.)

    What are you doing while you wait for your invite (hopefully) to closed beta?

    Me playing GW2 and I think I will get Rift's expansion and try out the beta this weekend on that.

    I've been playing Torchlight 2 and a mix of both Dragon Age games. Though I did kinda buy TL2 for the beta key, I may as well get my money's worth out of the game itself...

    I as well bought TL2 for the beta key good thing it was originally for the beta key since I can't even launch TL2 and the support has been craptastic. The last email I got and responded from them was on the 21st and they never responded back I will most definitely not be getting another Runic game.

    You get an A+ for the Patchouli reference. How does an innocent Truthseeker know anything about patchouli oil and incense, hmmm ;)

    But yeah, I'll take the pioneers/classics cartoons over japanese anime anyday. Hook me up with some good ole American made Warner Bros, Tom & Jerry, Road Runner, Pink Panther, throw in some Three Stooges, Josie & the Pussycats, the Muppets and of course the Chipmunks, send the wife and kids shopping, and I'm ready for my day of Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia! ;)

    This is when you may be going too far with Anime.

    If you spend an hour to frequently put on makeup to look like a cartoon and are thinking of plastic suurgery to look more like one (or to look like Barbia,) please look for your local therapist/psychiatrist/psychologist, dicuss your habits there and ask thm if you suffer from body dysmorphia.

    But if ytu do it for shows or holidays I wouldn't panic.

    Amen brother! I'll take Tom and Jerry over pokemons every day.

    I pretty much dislike anime and manga and all that japanese and corean fantasy. Sadly, most f2p mmo borrows heavily from some asian subcultures and use anime like graphics with oversized weapons, weird looking characters and and series of big colored flashy numbers arising over mobs heads when you hit mobs.

    If you're going to do some MMORPGS for western market, please do it in western way, using western fantasy and western style of drawing.

    WOW, LOTRO, Rift have more success than anime based <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, thus proofing my rant.

    I hate the ultra cute deformed anime. I will make some exceptions such as Hetalia chibi stuff. But on the whole I tend to lean more toward Berserk, Planetes, Record of The Lodoss Wars (more people need to make good cartoons based on their D&D campaigns I might add) and Cromartie High.

    Plus, as Andre mentioned Warner and Disney classics ftw.

    Grading, grading and grading... oh and academic hearing for plagiarists. I swear students must think I don't have access to the internet or tools to catch their plagiarism. If I catch any of you plagiarizing your Foundry quests I'll be very disappoint.

    omg! What did I just read/saw!

    Anime had exaggerated features so that expressions of the characters could be obvious with minimalistic line. But wtf... people trying to cut off their eyelids to make them look anime-like? Won't their eyes fall off? Oh selune! What the world is coming to? I will just retire back to you where people still think having horns and tail is a bad thing.

    *Notices how townsfolk do not react to magnified 4e horns of tieflings*
    Nooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!
    *watches Selune secretly blessing the lycanthropes*
    *gouges out his eyes*

    Lol it seems to be these days. My favorite though are the students who copy and paste things and don't even notice that the font has changed in their own work.

    Aren't there online services these days where as soon as you put the essay in, it tells you how much percentage it has which is plagiarized? My friend used it to check a few write-ups of students. I heard it also has green, yellow and red indicators. He said that five were green (out of 30 or so) and was very happy about it.
    He was saying, guess how many of them came up green? As he is very happy for his students, I thought they must have made him very happy and said 20-25? He started laughing sarcastically...

    Yeah there are a number of services out there, not only do they tell you the percentage of material plagiarized but they can link directly to sources if they are from the internet or are another student's paper that have been submitted to the database. It is a great feature because I can look at the sections side by side and compare them, in some cases it is often just a matter of them saying something that is just basic knowledge and so most sources use similar phrasing like, "Thomas Jefferson is considered the father of the Constitution", but other times it is like I described where they simply copied and pasted the material, the font changes are just a bonus for me to shake my head at.
