So I was setting a clan for my site and they have a bunch of pre-set options for picking your clan pic.

When I was a kid I liked TMNT3 a lot. That was probably my Japanophilia speaking at the time though (prior to my discovery of anime, this stemmed from watching a bunch of Sho Kosugi movies when I was six). I probably still like that movie, but I haven't seen it in 15+ years. Looking back I do agree TMNT2 is the better movie, but I haven't seen TMNT1 in a minute.

Okay, so this is gonna be a little prejudiced, sorry. But... for those of you that don't care too much when friends of other races say "nigga" (so, MikeB), does it seem like white people are feeling themselves the most?

Like, it's a bit jarring. They sound like they've been waiting every day of their lives to say it. Yet Asians say it and it barely even registers to me. Like, Asian dude's like "niggas are tripping," I'm like "sure." Then I do a mental double-take "wait, you're not black at all!"

...Just my experiences so far.

From experience I hang with really ghetto white people so they say it like you would expect from a black guy.

But the ones that aren't sound really corny for obvious reasons

Anybody else up on Extant? They're probably trying to pack in too many sci-fi storylines into one show at once, but I think it's interesting.

It shouldn't, but it does amaze me sometimes how weary people can be of race topics.

They either come in on some serious denial, or come in guns blazing.

Well yeah, Ninja Rap is a fun song. I just wasn't expecting people to cling to it as a defense for TMNT2.

in a way it's the climax to the movie, the big giant highlight.

Gotta admit it's better than watching 3's climax which is just...a guy taking a nose dive off a cliff.

They never wanted to show the turtles killing anyone I guess.

So instead they made up inconveniences for the shredder or that one guy to die to.

The good ol' trendy late 80's early 90's trend of the villain falling off something and into a firey/concrete/void/watery death

How amusingly vague. ;)

I'm going to try to watch Kokoro Connect sometime this coming week, by the way. I hope I like it. I saw the manga but I'm not sure whether it is considered good as well, and I might as well watch first.

It was okay for the most part. The premise was interesting and I liked the first arc, the rest of it started to get a bit boring and too dramatic for my tastes, especially the episodes that came after it got off air.

Im a piece of shit. Ive got drunk and high multiple times with a woman I work with and the sexual attraction I feel toward her is mutual. Been years since Ive been this infatuated with a woman, but shes in a relationship, been with the guy for 8 years. The dude is a controlling asshole who used to beat her, but she's with him, just bought a house with him and however shitty he is, this girl I want is his woman. Fuck.
I know the logical thing to do is nothing, but I see this girl all the time through work (its impossible for us not to interact on some level due to our work responsibilities) and she's a fucking walking checklist of almost everything I lust after in a woman, physically and intellectually, lol.
I guess this is the lust talking, but it annoys me someone as bright as she is determined to stick with the insecure little shit that is her man. They do have a kid, so thats even more reason for me to back the fuck off, but the temptation is strong, shit.

Game journalist? So maybe you can explain why the industry is conspiring to keep the common gamer down. #GamerGate
