  1. Re:For those who don't "get" Anime on Must-See Films at L.A. Anime Festival · · Score: 1

    If it helps, Robotech is to the Anime series that was used to make it what Walt Disneys Treasure Planet is to Treasure Island.

  2. Re:Define Watered Down, please on Must-See Films at L.A. Anime Festival · · Score: 1

    Nice troll, i'll bite.

    Robotech is not the father of any anime.
    Anime gave birth to Robotech.
    If Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Masopeda had never been made as anime in Japan. Carl Macek would not have had any source material to edit together into your precious Robotech.
    MS Gundam also came before Robotech, but dont let facts and reality get in the way of your adoration for Robotech.

  3. Re:ah anime on Must-See Films at L.A. Anime Festival · · Score: 1

    Duh.
    Thats why they call the show Mobile Suit Gundam. Not Big Robot Gundam.

  4. Re:Will someone show Kodocha? on Must-See Films at L.A. Anime Festival · · Score: 1

    Childs Toy has been shown at anime clubs for years here.
    It's old news, and since companies only seem to want the latest shows I doubt it will ever see light of day.

  5. Re:Ah, yes... on Easter Humor · · Score: 1

    I believe the apostr you responded to was responding to the "Just dont go calling it Easter" comment.

  6. Re:If memory serves. on James Cameron's Live Action Battle Angel Alita · · Score: 1

    I only know of 2 Zeram films. They both were made long before Iria: Zeram the Animation came out.

  7. Re:The best anime movie on James Cameron's Live Action Battle Angel Alita · · Score: 1

    The Blue... What?
    Cat?
    Wig?
    Chair?
    Room?
    Door?
    Car?
    Bic icle?

  8. Re:I'd rather see more OVA's... on James Cameron's Live Action Battle Angel Alita · · Score: 1

    I've seen it in retail stores in the continental US. I think Virgin Megastore had it in the "Forign" or the "Martial Arts" section.

  9. Re:All animation is dubbed...deal with it on James Cameron's Live Action Battle Angel Alita · · Score: 1

    The sad part is most "american cartoons" things like:
    Dexters Lab
    Samurai Jack
    Invade Zim
    Batman:TAS
    and many others have great IMO dubbing. For some reason cartoons imported from other countries have poor dubbing most of the time.
    Several things factor into this.
    1. US importers of anime are often run by people who "think" they are good voice directors, so instead of hiring a decent voice director they do it themselves (ADV is guilty of this).
    2. US importers seem unwilling to spend the money on studio time to do a good job.
    3. US importers seem to be unwilling to hire the good voice talent in the US. Instead they go for whatever is cheapest (sometimes even using staff).
    4. Cheap voice talent cant act worth shit, and is only in it for the paycheck. Unlike Japan VA work here gets little recognition so VA are not well paid. The VA for a character from Ranma 1/2 said "I just go in deliver my lnes cold in one take, and never watch the show". That folks is a serious problem, and the dude shouldnt have a job in the industry if he isnt willing to actually put any work into it.

  10. Re:FreeBSD was added? on Essential System Administration, 3rd Edition · · Score: 1

    Funny I do own the book.
    It seems your so caught up in your pet OS that you can only argue with insults. It's obvious you havent read the book ;-)
    I suggest you read it, because your memory does not serve you right (to use your words).

    Before making that post I went to the Preface in the copy of the 2nd edition that I own. It says "OS Versions Covered" an in it no mention of FreeBSD. Now The book does cover BSD style stuff. It does not specifically cover FreeBSD and as I recall thats what the original poster said was added to the latest version.

    Please Enlighten me with the page numbers where like AIX, Linux, Sunos, IRIX, Solaris, SCO, Digital Unix, and HP-UX; you think Free BSD is covered specifically.
    It's sad a post as factually wrong as yours was modded as informative. The Author may be a big FreeBSD Fan, but at least that dosent get int he way of creating a good book for everyone else.

    Cute web page you have there.

  11. Re:offtopic on Nuke-Lobbing · · Score: 1

    We set him up with those chem weapons and told him to "go nuts". The only other country he gassed that I know about is Iran.

  12. Re:Guys in games. on Genderplay in Videogames · · Score: 1

    Try Playing LSL games once Passionate Patty is introduced. So not only is Larry still demeaning himself and being turndown/slapped by fate, she has incredable good luck and get what she wants.
    I loved it because it was funny as all get out, considering how womens groups made a big deal the LSL games. Ignoring that Larry was a looser and unable to score. When he did score, if he made a mistake boom, death from STD (so guys remember to use protection).

  13. Re:Literally kidnapped? on Spiderman, Sony vs Marvel · · Score: 1

    He is a genius as you say, not a homacidal maniac.
    Maybe somewhere inside he cant let himself go that far.
    I think he just wants his red swingline back.

  14. Re:FreeBSD was added? on Essential System Administration, 3rd Edition · · Score: 1

    2nd edition makes no mention of FreeBSD.

  15. Re:What do you think DefCon is? on Worlds Largest Computer Party, In Progress · · Score: 1

    Defcons content is not the same as what goes on at "parties" go to www.scene.org and look at the history that lead up to things like The Gathering.
    Yes there is crossover.

  16. Re:Positions on "Super-DMCA" Outlaws Ph.D. Thesis · · Score: 1

    Am I reading that wrong? It's impossible for Arab Muslims to make good on their word, and they cant be trusted?

  17. Re:Its a shame on Firefly Coming to DVD · · Score: 1

    Considering the 2 hour episode was in fact the pilot, as in it showed them getting together and such. Since the show had a story arc this needed to be shown first not last.

  18. Re:Plumful on Anachronox Movie Finished · · Score: 1

    They didnt just "make a fucking movie with it" they made a game, that due to ION Storm never was patched enough.
    This is what the game (for the most part) boils down two, tho a LOT of the subplot is not in the Movie.

  19. Re:wow. on Anachronox Movie Finished · · Score: 1

    AFIAK the lead developer has been building patch on his on in spare time.
    I saw a link in the massage area of planetanachronox about a mod/patch that improves stability till the real patch is done.

  20. Re:ATI??? on EA and NVIDIA in Alliance · · Score: 1

    I guess you dont use Nvidia either, so what do you use Permedia?

    Remember how craptacular the early Nvidia cards (back in the Voodo1/2 era) were? Easily as bad if not worse then the Rage cards.

  21. Re:NVidia got itself a good deal on EA and NVIDIA in Alliance · · Score: 1

    Then get a cheap old p-200 MMx and drop a voodoo car d in it. cant think of any glide only games that need more processor.

  22. Re:DVD Release? on Online Epic to Release Penultimate Episode · · Score: 1

    it isnt anime, manybe thats the problem your encountering... Expecting one thing (cartoons from Japan) and getting another (cartoons from canada).

  23. Re: This isn't anime. on Online Epic to Release Penultimate Episode · · Score: 1

    To referance Super Troopers use of "Afganistanimation" this must be "Canadianimation".

  24. Re:Katz on Online Epic to Release Penultimate Episode · · Score: 1

    There has not been a "lack of school shootings" as you put it.
    They are still happening, just that the news isnt bothering to report them or if it does as a mere footnote.

  25. Re:It works on Internet via the Power Grid, Again · · Score: 1

    sounds like the average claims printed on a Monster Cable package.
