"paper media"

what the hell is that? some kind of ancient thing used in the old days?

 

[MetatronM]

Oh, so he is augmented? Why did I never notice this?

He has a cyberbrain. That's how he's able to operate within Section 9. He's just otherwise all natural.

 

[Xe4]

Bah, I can't watch the simulcast on PS4, back to figuring out what I can do after I give up cable.

You can use SlingTV, Vue, or DirecTV Now. I use SlingTV cause it's cheapest, but it's not available on the PS4 unfortunately.

Unfortunately there's a 30-45 second broadcast delay, but it's good aside from that.

 

[cntr]

Oh, so he is augmented? Why did I never notice this?

I think he has a normal brain, but he has a cyberbrain interface tied into his biological brain. So what normal people do instead of cyborgs.

Wow, already doing a title drop, Chief?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Batou is pissed off.

 

[BBboy20]

NOt Kamina.

My plan is getting PS Vue, then logging into the Adult Swim website, but if I use Chromecast, the quality lowers because I'm trying to do two streams at once (streaming the simulcast, then having my chromecast stream what's on my computer) & my phone is too small & quality is still bad if I put it on my TV.

I REALLY don't want to resort to splitting the screen on my laptop between the stream & the chat, but I might just have to if I can't figure anything else out.

 

[cntr]

remember when Togusa saw them planting guns in their dead hands last episode?

 

[Schadenfreude]

The Major's tactical suit is awesome looking. Also American empire never gets old.

 

[cntr]

I'm really amazed they went for "American Empire" instead of "Confederacy".

I don't know if that's more or less on the nose.

 

[BBboy20]

I'm still convinced this is a very good template for an AAA GITS game.

 

[ckohler]

Are those wired telescope machines they use for hacking ever explained? When people can surf the net in thier heads and flatscreen monitors exist, wha do these machines do?

It's what I usually do. Not ideal, but it works ok.

 

[blitzwolf215]

I love this plot. Its just talking but it's so interesting.

 

[Schadenfreude]

God, this was so engrossing I didn't even want to post.

I think the idea is that doing it inside your head exposes you since you connect in, while you obviously can't be hacked by a plain video feed. And it's a binocular thing instead of a screen for privacy.

Whoa, I thought he looked different, but he just hijacked a waiter?

Agreed. This is talking done right.

 

[BBboy20]

Yup.

 

[Zonic]

I'm kind of bummed my best friend doesn't like the Planet of the Apes film, mainly finding the core idea silly/dumb along with the CGI not looking good (but said the Transformers films having good CGI). Personally, I find these newer films took the idea & managed to execute it rather well.

I'll probably take my dad & his wife to see it.

 

[cntr]

SAC's America, btw:

 

[BBboy20]

Wait, is it this episode?

 

[Zonic]

just wait until they make virtual virtual pachinko

 

[Schadenfreude]

Always thought it was weird their operators were human like. Why not have just regular ol computers?

 

[cntr]

I guess they thought it'd be fun to reuse them as secretaries.

 

[BBboy20]

It is.

 

[cntr]

Hell yes.

MECHS.

 

[Zonic]

Always thought it was weird their operators were human like. Why not have just regular ol computers?

I want to say that they have other functions to help around the place, pretty sure it was mentioned in one of the episodes focusing on just the Tachikomas talking.

 

[Xe4]

SAC's America, btw:

Man, as a person living in the southwest, I refuse to believe that we would ever ally with the south.

Well, maybe Texas would, but they're a bunch of fuckers.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I love this show so much.

 

[cntr]

Holy fucking shit I didn't expect Batou to pack a rocket-powered grenade launcher!

This outfit is way better than the Major's normal one, even if it's a bit too skin tight.

 

[Xe4]

Fucking camo mechs no less.

 

[cntr]

Good mech design.

 

[Zonic]

That certainly looks like a Masamune designed mech.

....though part of me is bummed it's not hand drawn compared to CGI. His robots look better when drawn.

OH GOD, I FORGOT ABOUT THIS

 

[cntr]

oh fuck

 

[Xe4]

Oww...
Edit: Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed too.

 

[Mizerman]

Oh, so he is augmented? Why did I never notice this?

Yeah, Togusa's brain is partially cyberized. Otherwise, he's all natural.

 

[cntr]

Holy fuck, Major.

...I guess that was for Togusa.

 

[Schadenfreude]

The Major's guns are really impressive. And i'm not talking about the rifle. Batou doing his best impression of Keanu Reeves in Point Break.

 

[cntr]

That's not a very safe thing to do, Batou.

Holy shit, what an episode, yo.

 

[Zonic]

|OT| What's 1000 minus 7? It's Incredible Math

 

[Xe4]

Welp... that's one downside of cyber eyes.

Night ya'll.
Lots of ups and downs, but there were some real highlights.

[Ecotic]

Everyone in GITS is so wooden except for moments of extreme anger. It's off-putting not to see much any other emotion.

 

[Schadenfreude]

We got the "Later", right? So Toonami is officially over right?

 

[cntr]

Really? I find them pretty relatable. They're professional yet familiar with each other, like the way Batou makes jokes.

 

[ckohler]

I'm out. Later.

 

[cntr]

Next week on Toonami:

Looks like Jack isn't officially part of Toonami anymore.

 

[ramoisdead]

Aku is still great.
