Dollar's been higher than the US, on and off, for the past few months.
Speaking of importing, does anyone know where you can buy those coloured iron beads (god if anyone responds with bees I will kill them), preferably with the option to choose what colours you get / or just a large bag of assorted colours.
I want to make a whole bunch of the megamens with them for no apparent reason.

I guess that guy who shows up with the Delorean to Armageddon every year is gonna have to fit in another con.
Gaz, sign Shawnee Smith's epic tits for me. If we work on two fronts then one of us has a chance of succeeding.
True though, when I went to Supanova it was all Anime all the time. My girlfriend at the time wore a hand-made skin-tight 60s Catwoman costume and the main interest was in 14 year old cat girls and guys in Naruto outfits.
But granted I stopped paying attention to anime when the original Read or Die came out, because they would never make anything that good again.

I haven't watched since the days of Initial D, Love Hina, Chobits, GANTZ (first season?), and stuff around the same time. Prince of Tennis was big then, too.Axiom said:
So... what's big in anime land nowadays? I was thinking a day or two ago of asking the AusGAF hivemind for some suggestions.

Last anime I watched was Great Teacher Onizuka, which was pretty good from memory. But that was many years ago.
Also, my gf is watching the new season of fatties. Since when has there been a hot blonde trainer on that show?

Ahh yes, I do remember watching some GTO but not being able to get into it. Honestly, I don't know if I'm over anime, had just had too much of it at that time or if it was no good anymore.BanShunsaku said:
So, has there been anything truly revolutionary in the last couple of years anime-wise?
codswallop said:
Not really, no. Stuff that comes off the top of my head is Gurren Lagann and Baccano though those are still from 2007, quite a while ago.
How about anime movies? I really enjoyed The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, 5 Centimetres per Second and the new Evangelion movies.
Best costume I saw at Supanova was this girl dressed up as Cynder from Spyro. Seeing someone dressed up as a character you helped create was a really cool headspin.
Axiom, consider that a mission accepted.
Oh hey turns out that the NiGHTS controller works as a steering wheel in Daytona and Sega Rally. Neat!

Nope, still pals though. She's in Adelaide now if any of you see Skrull Electra running about.codswallop said:
I saw something at Supanova once called xxxHolic which was really quite good, but it was also saddled with this godawful 'crossover' episode from a different series that took place in a parallel universe where the two series directly interacted for all of 30 seconds due to a sky portal conference call.
It was really shocking that these two products were even from the same company, xxxHolic seemed quite clever and had a nice bit of mystery and that fun Japanese mysticism. The other show seemed like the Complete Lord of the Rings Trilogy edited down to 80 minutes, made no fucking sense and was godawfully edited.
The latter was just full of cliches and anime tropes that weren't even done well, hell getting so familiar with all those tropes is probably what killed my interest in the typical JRPG.
I sometimes miss reading Amos writing about Dominion Tank Police and Akira in the back of NMS and loving just how different and cool it all sounded.
So you haven't watched anime since 2004? there's actually been a significantly amount of great series in 2005-2007 such as mushi-shi, gurren lagann, black lagoon baccano! eureka seven mononoke and so on. And to be perfectly honest, most of the shows you listed there are pretty terrible.

So my internet cut out. Related to cyclone? Can adsl die if i'm in melbourne? Is internode based in north qld? I've restarted my modem and router multiple times, so it can't be that.
So I got a monitor now, but it was on impulse. Originally, I wanted an Acer G245HDmid, but they were out of stock at some places, since I wanted to take advantage of the cashback scheme.... now after the whole finding alternative monitors, I managed to find one at MSY , with only one left. I nabbed it and bought that shit (Got it for $194... going to claim $39 cashback = $155)
Tis hard getting used to it... from 17" to 24"... it hurt brain.
In other problems, my iPhone 4 is giving me the shits. Today, I made a number of calls. About 9 of those calls have mic issues, which just cuts off as soon as I enter into the call. So basically, I'm calling the number, they pick up, I say "hello", they don't hear it at all...
Should it be a hardware issue? It's giving me the shits, it's been happening for a while now. I got the iPhone 4 1 week after launch. ):

So theres a dude threatening to jump off the top of the building across the street from my work. Cops have been trying to talk him down for more than 2 hours. Meanwhile no cars are allowed down the street and I'm the only person here. Strange times.

That's kind of crazy. Though surely if be truly wanted to jump he would've done it without waiting for cops.BanShunsaku said:

Yeh if he was going to jump you'd think he would have done it by now, but he is still up there now clinging on to the railing talking to the negotiators.

Nah, not into that sort of thing. My partner saw that dude from All Saints land on the awning across from her work a few years ago, messed her up pretty badly. Shit is serious business and taking photos seems wrong to me.
Sounds apple related, take it back to the Orchard.Kirby102 said:So I got a monitor now, but it was on impulse.

Yep, Rosebery... Guy is still there, roads still closed. He's been up there for more than 4 hours now
My mum is the suicide bereavement officer for Qld Police on the Sunshine Coast. Her job is to inform and assist families with the news of a persons suicide. She is frequently the first point of contact for people to learn that someone they know has killed themselves. It isnt well known, but places like Noosa and Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast have some of the highest suicide rates in the country. I dont envy anyone that job.
A sizeable hero of mine.

Something about people making a spectacle of their suicide (meaning the person threatening to jump) really annoys me.

For people to deny their most fierce instinct ("FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SCARED IN THIS WORLD I DON'T WANT TO DIE AND I WILL DO ANYTHING TO STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING"), something is clearly imbalanced in their brains. I don't think it's fair to give them the "attention whore" title.Neverender said:
I mean, I'll never understand suicide because death is in itself is the cause of most anything in my life that even resembles clinical depression. When I'm despairing it's usually because I'm contemplating dying else worrying about someone I know dying, so the thought of speeding up that process is literally the furthest thing from my mind at those times.
