The Incredibles is one of my all time favourites.

Also, ain't many 5-10 year old boys who can act worth a darn.

In addition, if you're doing a show that runs for more than a year, you are absolutely fuuuucked when their voices break.

There was a thread in gaming about Japanese VA vs English VA recently. A guy was saying how most people seem to think Japanese VAs are better because they don't really have a reference for what ridiculous japanese sounds like - the Japanese could be just as bad as the English but we only single out the English because we grew up knowing what normal English should sound like.

I never really thought of it that way, but it does make sense. He mentioned Cowboy Bebop's japanese being terrible and the english is way better. I wouldn't know because I haven't watched it lol.

Pft, everyone knows Ratatouille is the best Pixar film. Its emotional moment had a whole hour and a half buildup, resulting in one of the best animated scenes ever crafted
TRUTH!

Everyone knows the Bebop dub is one of the only examples in existence where it's better than the japanese vo. It has Steve Blum playing his definitive role!

But I admit I only do anime subbed because I can't tell if something is acted well or not. It's like reading a book if they inverted the ratio of words to pictures. And added angsty kids in school yards with giant swords. The giant swords never do anything, also.

Man I hate giant swords now.

But then they actually grow up and it sounds authentic. FMA pulled it off well.

FMA is another one I need to watch. I think I watched halfway through the original series and then forgot about it. There's like a fta channel that shows Brotherhood every saturday or something, but I don't get that channel for some reason:(

I've heard they show it on either SBS2 or channel 31. But I don't know when. Better off downloading it, or buying it.
 
yeah, ratatouille for me too, then incredibles and wall-e

Agree on Ratatouille and the Incredibles. Love the first half of Wall-E but once
they went to the Axiom
I think it became a weaker film.

Ratatouille is such a charming, well constructed piece. Its music is fantastic and it also has my favourite end credits animation out of the Pixar films.

Eh, not sure many care anymore but after calming down and thinking it through, I've decided not to 'get back' at FF for leeching off my website. That is, I won't do anything which will make me come off as an arsehole and result in cheap publicity. There's been a fair share of tweets in the direction of m0nty and it's also been talked about on a major website, so I think that's gotten the message across anyway. I haven't heard from him, but I still reckon my feed was being used as a backup feed. Haven't been able to completely check my traffic logs yet (because they're bloody massive), but it doesn't make sense for it to be used as a primary feed.

I'll still look into adding protection of some sort if I'm able to (won't be easy to block a feed for a single, anonymous user), but spamming my site's name all over my competitor's just isn't something I feel is right, especially if it hurts my own community and relations with other sites. I don't believe in such revenge, especially if it involves causing more harm. What I have the potential to do will affect his site more than it did mine. Yeah it'd be nice if m0nty responded to those tweets admitting his mistake or at least manned up and acknowledged it in some way, but ah well, we move on. I have more important things going on in my life then to worry about revenge.

I've worked my arse off getting this far and I'll continue to build my website off the back of my hard work. I've literally put over a thousand hours into my website over the last year or so and I've so far made peanuts off of it, but I'll continue to spend my efforts in making it the best I can since money never really mattered to begin with. I love my programming and I love my footy and that, along with my great community, is what drives me.

To any mods lurking, I've removed my site from my profile page since I don't want this to come off as advertising. I'll try not to bring it up anymore.

To anyone who feels that I've wasted their times with this nonsense, remember you're reading AusGAF, of course you're here to waste time!

Aaaand it's 2AM. Perfect time to catch up on those university lectures... no sleep for me :(

tldr - dislikes revenge, likes programming, falling behind at uni.

You had me at "hello".

His nose looks like the same one (exactly?) they used on the John Elliott puppet from Fast Forward. Pig's arse.
 
Looks like Tracey Lien's gone off to work for Polygon

The Verge? Lol.

Can I eat meat today in between a dozen Easter eggs?

Edit: oh wait, that is the new name for that super team of gaming media? Damn awesome pickup for her! Should be a huge job. Will be interested to see how they run things, especially with a few of the names there that I am not keen on (plus the Verge writers who are a joke)

I care, just disappointed you didn't do anything. Your self control is pretty amazing.

Well I was up to 2am trying to become the King of Ireland, which isn't going so well, and then dreamt about CK2 all night.

Yeah that game's pretty good.

Double and a half pay rate today. 8 hrs of work get paid for 7hrs, but i hope my shift gets extended to 10 hrs, so i can get paid 9hrs at $52.33 an hour.

It's probably a good thing that you dislike revenge, considering that your rival's website doesn't sanitise its SQL input.

... >_>

Note: I do not blah blah blah illegal activities
 
Incredibles is best Pixar movie. No questions.

Every young boy singing voice in movies would like to have a word with you Shan

Ydahs, good idea. Don't do anything that will put a damper on increased traffic. Your sites integrity comes first. Don't succumb to being unethical.
 
I think I like Toy Story 2 as my fave Pixar film. It is just perfect.

After that, for me, there's a tier system

Love:
Up
Wall-E
Incredibles
Toy Story 3

Like:
Monsters Inc
Toy Story
Bug's Life
Ratatouille

Meh (just don't click for me):
Finding Nemo
Cars

Never Seen
Cars 2

also LOL @ there being better opportunities in Australia as a games journo than making the bloody things.

Incredibles, Wall-E and Ratatouille are my favourites, I find it really hard to pick the one I like most. Up had some really great (and soul crushing) moments, but I found large swathes of it a bit boring. But really, aside from Cars (which really is their "just for kids" movie), most of their movies are good.

I didn't think the Incredibles was all that incredible. I should try and rewatch it though to see if I originally missed some of the charm.

Also. Is NFS2 shift worth $5? Is Crysis 2 worth $7.50? I did play the leak for about 1hr and did somewhat enjoy it when that was on my older hardware setup (I think it was).

I've already picked up the darkness 2, dragon age 1/2 and the saboteur from amazon. Trying to figure out if i'm missing out on anything else.

Oh crap, my 2nd King died mysteriously and as a result my son (who was only 1!) is on the throne. Shit hitting the fan in a big way as my vassals don't dig that scenario at all. Never mind the fact my 1yo son is a raving imbecile.


Managed to squash a big rebellion and stripped the guys of their titles and instated some pliable types, fingers crossed.

Steam sales? Doesn't make me feel very good about faffing with VPNs to get Crysis 2 from GMG at $9, but for an extra fiver I'd happily get it just for Steam.
