  1. Re:Overrated on 10 Years of Neon Genesis Evangelion · · Score: 1

    I can understand why the man didn't like criticisms. The story was a way of him getting over and out of a severe depression. It was a reflection of himself, and so it's perosnal.

    Also, he's kinda got every right to give a "fuck you" to the fans (EoE, for instance). People sent him death threats over the storyline.

  2. Re:Final Episode on 10 Years of Neon Genesis Evangelion · · Score: 1

    1) Second Impact was actually the result of the research team taking the body of Adam and making it into the basest form (the embryo, which Gendo puts in his hand). Third Impact/Instrumentality is actually caused when Gendo puts the body of Adam into Rei, who has the soul of Lillith.

    2) It's stated in either the show or the movie that the angels are fighting the humans for superiority. Humans are of the same species as the angels. Whichever one wins out in the battles will be the race that survives. Kawrou (the last angel, besides humans) explains this, and conciedes to humans when he sees their ingenuity and will to survive, which was much greater than any other species on the planet.

    It should also be noted that all of the eva series are clones/have parts of Adam in them, except Unit 1 (shinji's unit). It comes from Lillith, the mother of humans (all the other Angels come from Adam). LCL is also the blood of Lillith.

    Rei, in my opinion, always had the soul of Lillith in her. Lillith isn't really explained, but seeing as it just sits around and bleeds LCL, I'd say it doesn't have a soul at all. Kawrou has the soul of lillith. By the by, you should notice that the entry plugs on the Selee Evas in EoE have "Kawrou" written on them.

    Hope that helps :)

  3. Re:Moderations to Show: -1 (Overrated) on 10 Years of Neon Genesis Evangelion · · Score: 1

    I have to admire anno then. He was so high he couldn't walk, in the middle of a severe depression/mental breakdown, and he still manages to produce a show with more substance and fewer plot holes than Final Fantasy 7.

  4. Re:Huh? on 10 Years of Neon Genesis Evangelion · · Score: 1

    There's a ton of stuff wrong with that. You're right, LCL is the "blood" of Lillith. I think he was referring to how the souls of their mothers (for shinji and asuka) were used as the souls of the evas.

  5. Re:More graphics, less gameplay on A Contrarian View of FFVII · · Score: 1

    Sephiroth is just Magus rehashed. And you don't get to have him in your party.

  6. Re:Contrarian? on A Contrarian View of FFVII · · Score: 1

    It's the "Halo Effect". It's the first decent game someone has played in a particular genre, and thus it gets labeled "The best thing since bread and butter."

  7. Re:This is exactly what should happen. on Music Downloads = Expensive Concerts? · · Score: 1

    My music is only electronica as that it is made on a computer. Some call it new age, but that too is a wrong distinction. I've always felt my music would go well scoring a movie or video game.

  8. Re:I'll still be there opening night on Ebert Reviews 'Silent Hill' · · Score: 1

    My theory is that nobody truly likes the picture, it's just gotten to be such of a high popularity that people think they "have" to like it, by society's standards.

  9. Re:This is exactly what should happen. on Music Downloads = Expensive Concerts? · · Score: 1

    I write music that can't be (read: you wouldn't want to) performed.

    Do artists like me just "not exist" in this imaginary world, or do we all go get day jobs instead?

  10. Re:I'll still be there opening night on Ebert Reviews 'Silent Hill' · · Score: 1

    I hate movies that suck to someone who "doesn't get it" or who "hasn't read the book" or "hasn't played the game".

    Most of the people I know"don't get" the Mona Lisa or John Cage, either.

  11. Re:I don't believe it... on Facebook Raises Another $25M · · Score: 1

    There is, sadly, a high school facebook in the making.

  12. Re:Buzzwords and Challenges. on Code for Unbreakable Quantum Encryption · · Score: 1

    You're absolutely correct. As always, the idea is to make it as bloody hard as possible. If it takes fouteen million years to brute force, then the industry calls it "unbreakable", as it is, unbreakable.

    This is, of course, saying nothing for that marvel called "social engineering"...

  13. Re:clockwork tv chair on Philips Patents Technology to Force Ad Viewing · · Score: 1

    Synth-pop version, of course.

  14. Re:Easy, actually. on Oblivion's Missing Physics Acceleration · · Score: 1

  15. Re:It is real, look out the window on Environmentalists Coming Around to Nuclear Power? · · Score: 1

    ...do you happen to be a professor at Western Michigan University?

  16. Re:Internet Explorer on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, maybe not first time windows users, but for first time internet users I would give them the following:
    1) Firefox
    2) Wikipedia
    3) Google
    And tell them to go exploring.

  17. Re:Who even uses a horse? on Frustration With Oblivion Mod Costs on Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    Yes, but horses can scale shear cliffs.

    Try it. It's fun as hell (and glitchy as hell).

  18. Re:The lines blur once more. on America's War on the Web · · Score: 1

    Whose job is it, if not the government, to enforce the laws then? Is not the essence of law to discourage behaviour harmful to the state and its people?

  19. Re:The lines blur once more. on America's War on the Web · · Score: 1

    If that's true...
    John Kerry/Hillary Clinton/et. al. should believe the same things I do.

    MANY examples have shown otherwise.

  20. Re:Exactly. on No More Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    In the 1890s and very early 1900s, physics students were being told to change their majors, as "We've learned everything in physics. There's nothing left to discover."

  21. Huh? on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    Why in God's name? They can't get hardly the same hardware integration as they can with their native OS.

    I think that guy's just messing with your head. Freaking psychologists...

    My online latin translation doesn't work well. I must ask you explain it to me.

  24. Re:Love is a survival trait. on Love Under a Microscope · · Score: 1

    This article right here is why I used to want to go into psychology.

    The subheading of TFA: "Romance may be tied to reward system that can cause addiction".
    Well, no kidding! If love isn't an addiction I don't know what is. I could have told them that and saved them quite a bit of money.

    Another from TFA: "It became apparent to me that romantic love was a drive -- a drive as strong as thirst, as hunger. People live for love, they kill for love, they die for love, they sing about love."

    I bet she cited Shakespeare in her report.

    Tetrisphere for N64, perhaps?
