Hold up...Griffin McElroy has a podcast about The Bachelor called "Rose Buddies"?

yeah, it's him and his wife.

if your last name is mcelroy you're destined to spend 10 hours a day in front of a microphone, apparently.

(each of them have like four podcasts, justin and griffin do polygon stuff, and Clint, their father, has been a radio personality for ages)

It's like the Undertale of anime

I watched the first episode of Erased. It didn't really grab me. I'll give it a couple more episodes, it's too difficult for me to get hooked on an anime these days. I think the only 2 I finished last year were Barakamon and OPM.


...I'll start watching Gintama now tho.

and here i am slogging through early utena. well, not really slogging, it's pleasant enough.

 

[TraBuch]

wrong girl

Huh. I should finish that show. Watched the first two or three episodes and dug it but stopped for some reason.

My first watch of Utena was a revelation. That show is brilliant in a way that's almost indescribable. Make sure to watch the movie after you finish the show. The way the movie goes is so weird and interesting.

so good

Definitely doesn't seem like my thing, going by the art style and that atmosphere of "yuri" and "romance" that oozes from each image of it I see.

Utena is to magical girl and shoujo romance as Evangelion is to mecha. It's more of a subversion and commentary on those things than it is actually one of those.

What was that anime a few years ago where people got into huge brawls over boxed lunch things from a grocery store?

 

[razgriz417]

Any good romcoms with a bitchy, bossy female lead and a totally beta male lead where they have wacky hijinks and eventually fall in love?

Toradora?

Hm. Well, I'm into those. Haven't seen Evangelion yet, though. I should.

fuuucking anime

Who wants to talk about anime while we wait?

Stuff like this will get us Super Best Friend'ed

We only have Brad to blame for this.

i'm still in the character introduction phase so the melodrama clashing with the 'anime' is still really jarring. i am enjoying it more the more melodrama they toss in.

also both utena and anthy are pretty interesting characters, so i don't mind so much

Brad has truly banished us to Anime Hell.

Also, lol @ Dan saying he'd pay $1,200 for a Rift and then balking at the extra $83 for taxes and shipping.

Once it gets out of the first major arc is when it starts going...places. I won't spoil anything, but you should have fun with it.

The movie is nonsense in a lot of ways (thematically interesting nonsense, but mostly nonsense), but damn it's one of the most beautifully animated things. The way it can dive into weirdly abstract art is fantastic.

83 dollars?! you could buy a majority of the taco bell menu at once for that!

LiS is wrapping this Fri right? Are they gonna go back to Choose Our Own Adventure?

Give that to me in terms I can understand, like GunPla.

I imagine they'll fill the Playdate slot sooner or later. CooA is free content, so they probably want to keep premium content coming from both coasts.

I wouldn't go that far, but I think Toradora was the show where I was like "uh...hmm...maybe I...don't like anime as much as I used to"

I really want to join you guys on the Crazy Train, but it's too complex for me. Last time I managed to carve out a hole in a cliff, and told a dwarf to cut a tree, then the tree fell on him and he died.

Then I quit.

Ah. The Curse of Brad 'Don't spoil Me' Spoilermaker strikes again!

I generally don't give 2 shits about spoilers, so it never bugs me, but it sucks for those who do.

 

[Jintor]

haven't played df for two years, i wonder where they are now. I gen a world every now and then becuase worldgen in that game is faaaaaascinating.

last world i genned took two hours. TWO HOURS.

It's a hard game, but not as hard as some may claim. I think it's just very abrasive at first bluff. If you're a new player I recommend playing adventure mode to get used to the graphics and some of the controls, then play fortress mode if you want to create a horrible murder complex. Although fortress mode and adventure mode may be in the same game and take place on the same world generated, don't be fooled, they are completely different games mechanically.

Toady added CULTURE GENERATION. Music, poems, literature, dance. It's crazy. You can find libraries, compose music, compose dances, start a dance troupe, and much more now. And that's just adventure mode.
