Any reason we shouldn't migrate to it from irc? Seems more robust and user-friendly to me.

The place: the Boston Greater Metropolitan Area
The time: Wednesday, July 26 through Sunday, July 30
The stuff to do: chillax in Harvard Square (mandatory), do Touristy stuff like the Freedom Trail and Fanuel Hall, visit arcades, drive out into the country to see teh nature and eat teh ice cream, pretend we're cultured and take in some classical/baroque concerts, go to a Sox game and drink beeah in tha bleechahs, visit the museums of fine arts or science, etc.
The cost: we'll be renting a house, and depending on what we need in terms of size, it should be somewhere between $600 (we can dream, right?) and $1,000 per night.
So who's in?
p.s. Gref, sorry brah. Maybe we can work out something smaller in August?

General Chat / Games you nearly beat, but then you stopped for no particular reason.
« on: August 30, 2013, 04:03:40 AM »
I know, I know, you'll beat them any day now. Just kinda curious, particularly about games you still intend to come back to, rather than ones you gave up on because you suddenly discovered that they suck. Stopping 95% of the way through a game seems silly, but also quite common. I won't elaborate on what it means to beat the game, just the you subjectively feel like you haven't beaten it but are nearly there.
For me:
FFXIII
Atelier Ayesha
Shadowrun Returns
SMT:N
Wild Arms
No More Heroes
Muramasa (beat it with both characters, but still missing 1 ending)
SaGa Frontier 2
Wild Arms 4
FFXII
Okami (probably not that close, but it's a long game!)
P3 FES: The Answer
Vagrant Story (one of the few games on this list that is here because the final boss was too hard for me at the time.)
Mana Khemia
Shining Force
Shining Force II
I'm sure there are plenty of others, but this is what comes to mind for me.

General Chat / Your Favorite Bad Games
« on: May 23, 2013, 03:00:14 AM »
This came up in chat in relation to a discussion about the worst RPGs ever. So I put this to you, dear friends: what RPGs do you like but do not think are objectively good? Why do you like them so much? Why are they not very good?
To get the ball rolling:
SaGa Frontier 2.
Which is artsy and bold, and has a lot of pretty watercolor art, and good music, and tries for a compelling, epic storyline with all the grandiosity of a History Channel special on World War 2.
And kinda almost succeeds at that but the gameplay is an utter mess. An utter mess. Exhibit 1: skills are shared, so that when one person learns something, everyone can subsequently use it! ...as long as that person ever unequips that skill. because the trigger for it to become commonly usable is for it to be in the unequipped skills table, I guess. Also, duels provide an interesting way of trying to spark techniques! And lower-level techniques get higher priority than higher-level ones, so it pretty much doesn't work!

Topping that all off we have one of the world's shortest romances in Romeo and Juliet going against one of the longest in Maison Ikkoku. Seriously, Takahashi, not everything needs to be a bajillion volumes. And if that ain't enough, we gots a good old fashioned vampire showdown between Blood + and Hellsing. Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry and vote!

This week no fewer than 3 shows take up 6 spots, as Last Exile, Tokyo Underground, and Ichiban Ushisomethingorother take up space in the brackets as they vie for your hearts, minds, and votes. Will they win? Will people refuse on principle to vote for shows that are hard to pronounce? Will someone explain to me when they took the "no biting" rule off the NHL books? Will someone tell Djinn all his jazzy picks are in and he should come vote for them?

« on: May 18, 2011, 06:24:04 AM »
After a longish hiatus, the Anime Opening and Ending competition is back and better than ever! Seriously. Much better. So better that we have not one but two English-version endings for you, going head-to-head. Who will win? Does Big O violate any of Queen's copyrights? Are you sick of Bleach yet? Answer these and many more questions!

Tournaments / Anime OPED noms - season 2
« on: April 10, 2011, 03:05:29 AM »
So after week 6 we're gonna take a break from our regularly scheduled programming and start a second season of 64 opening and 32 ending songs. the current bunch will be back after the first 6 weeks of the second batch. You get the idea.
Anyway, noms! Nominate up to 5 openings and 2 endings. List them in order of preference, as they may not all get in. Anything you nominated for the first round that you have not seen yet will be in the second round unless I couldn't find video for it, so don't bother to renominate things that have already been nominated.
EDIT: by the way, people who find youtube videos of their noms are awesome.

Will that trippy show I watched in college (Eva) beat that other trippy show I watched in college (Utena)? Only you can decide. Well, you and the rest of those philistines. But I count your opinion the most.

« on: February 26, 2011, 08:44:50 AM »
EDIT: if you voted on the Japanese versions of MKR and Sailor Moon, please revise your vote based on their English versions (which are now correctly linked.)
Ok, it's about time to get this rolling! You all know the drill: you got one week (or so) to decide which video you like better. Do you need a King Gainer, or do you prefer your mechs furry and incomprehensible? Is your Sad Heart burning? Will the power of Geass subjugate the power of friendship? Only you can answer these questions. And by 'you' I mean 'anyone with a forum account.' And really, anyone can answer them to themselves. Right. Vote!

Tournaments / Anime opening and ending video competition - nominations!
« on: February 15, 2011, 08:44:45 AM »
An anime's opening often consists of the animators doing their very best to pack everything awesome about their show into about a minute and a half. Sometimes it works. Often, it's cooler than the show is. Either way, it's time to give this delightful cultural artifact it's due - by objectifying it with a glorified popularity contest!
So here goes: please nominate up to 10 total anime opening or ending videos. use whatever criteria you want to pick 'em. Cool animation, nice tune, sheer trolling potential, whatever. The current plan is to segregate the openings and endings into separate brackets, and do brackets of 32, alternating by week or something depending on how big the pools for each turn out.
There you have it! Nom away!

General Chat / Music Quiz 2009: The Legend Continues
« on: February 21, 2009, 06:01:21 PM »
For your listening pleasure, a 25-part music quiz compressed into a single continuous track. I had a lot of fun putting this together, so hopefully it will be equally enjoyable to the listeners. The music in this quiz is on the easy side, but the sample size may be a bit tricky (I originally got the idea after hearing that most people can recognize Stairway to Heaven by its first chord). Anyway, give it a shot! This is all in good fun, after all.

Guess the game each segment is from and PM me your answers. Quiz ends in a week or so.

General Chat / Anime Opening Videos.
« on: December 05, 2008, 05:50:37 AM »
So Grefter's comments over in the anime topic about how video game music sucks got me thinking about music and quality, particularly music that accompanies something else. I won't bore you with the details (I wrote out my entire chain of thought, then though better of it; you can thank me later), but that line of thinking made me think about how much I love anime opening videos. A good opening puts together music and video to say something interesting about the show and, not incidentally, get your toe a-tappin.'
Anyway, here are a few of the ones that put it all together right. The shows themselves may not be the best (though some of them are) but I think the openings are quality:
Witch Hunter Robin: Half Pain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS1-7CV_t1s
Robin watches Amon, the male lead, on TV. Separation, yearning (for the hunk) and the implication that there is a difference between the reality she and he live in.
Gankutsuou: You Won't See me Coming
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03zDv5tSkMQ
The ending theme, it's the perfect exclaimation point for a show with so many cliffhangers. Too bad the youtube quality doesn't do much for it.
Key the Metal Idol: In the Night
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y7KrcfuxAw
Key moves at a deliberate pace. The world moves with haste. One of those great openings where incidental elements gain meaning as the story unfolds.
X tv: eX Dream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUu38Y8R0JI
Mostly for the singing along (try it! preferably with a crowd of crooners).
Full Moon wo Sagashite: I ♥ U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVGpLnCvoQw
Both video and song are irrepressibly cheerful. That's a good thing.
Anyone else?
