Arrietty


Another home run from Studio Ghibli. I'm mad it took me so long to see it. So much fun.

I'll confirm that its not me. I don't have a Playstation Network Account and lack the required hardware to make use of one.

I wouldn't be so creepy about trying to befriend you. I'd like to think that I'm nicer than I probably come off as on this site.

Gamestop is doing buy 1 get 1 free on used PS2 games. Just thought I'd give a heads up for those interested.

http://www.gamestop.com/browse/playstation-2?nav=138b-50

Preemptively saying shut up to anyone who wants to let the world know they'd never buy anything from gamestop.

I wonder if they're trying to clear out their stock and ease their way out of selling games from that gen.

I'd recommend watching Whisper of the Heart if you haven't. It's my favorite of the Ghibli movies.

I'll certainly be giving that one a shot. I've only seen Castle of Cagliostro, Totoro, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service & and Arrietty up to this point so I have a lot of holes in my Ghibli story so far. I'm probably gonna watch Laputa tonight and, with your recommendation, Whisper of the Heart sometime shortly after.

Finding a new obsession is a delight isn't it?

Pale skin was valued in Japan even before Perry came in and turned the place upside down. It doesn't have anything to do with Europeans aka "white people" and its a bit arrogant for white people to assume everyone wants to be like them. Even though it often is true tee hee.

Also Rita Ora is very cute. Especially considering what I usually picture for Eastern European women.

I hope I wasn't just the victim of a Kiba troll post

I have been known to spend a lonely night aboard a small fishing boat with a young Chinese boy.

I also have a yankee-esque hairdo similar to Goro.

fuck this thread

The real problem is: why doesn't the US?

No redeeming qualities that one.

I tell you what

"Dreamcast Tissue Dispenser for Sega fans like me to cry themselves to sleep at night" lmao

Funny thing is, they've pretty much done that very thing in the past. I remember in Maximum Carnage on the Genesis and SNES, the end of the first stage actually dictates that Spider-Man get his ass kicked , all for the progression of the story. So no matter how well you play, there's no way to actually win at that part.
I feel like I've seen it elsewhere too, probably during the 16-bit era again, but I can't remember where exactly.


I think I know who did it:

I can't even remember what the title of this one is (I just know I found it while looking up From Software games on Gamefaqs), but I like the style of it. Just a good old 90s cartoon style that you never see nowadays. The purple dragon looks a helluva lot like the one at the end of the volcano dungeon in Wonder Boy in Monster World too, so that just makes me like it even more.

That's actually an RPG Maker game.

Those hero characters look like they could be distant relatives of the dad from The Oblongs. All those years as a wandering warrior must have caught up with him and his limbs.

Thief is "So fuckin' awesome."

Your grandfather had to do that everyday two ways just to get milk for his bowl of sugarless bran flakes in the morning. Stop being a pussy.

if only it were Drake himself.

if I were in that video, the title would be significantly longer. Something like "Professional gamer has massive orgy with booth babes in public, loses tournament but is still declared champion"

In reality the headline would be more like:

American Serial Rapist apprehended at Korean Games Convention. Public Spanking to be held.

The real test of otaku skills is when the time comes to pronounce karaoke.

"Nope, nothin' yet"

It looks like he's peering off into the water after defeating Chai contemplating the murder he probably just committed.
"I can still get a passport right...?"


Don't worry Ryo. The Yokosuka police department apparently doesn't investigate homicides so you should be fine.

Nice. Happy Birthday dude.

I was gonna try and type up some hilarious, witty response, but that video trumps anything I can think of.

He totally knocked me in the face with his ace rhymes so much I'll be thinking of them for days. Really, how does he keep up that pace? It's like he doesn't have brakes. And I'm sure that was just a taste. If no one signs him it'll be a disgrace.



:lol:

none of this Twin Snakes nonsense where everybody is American

I never agreed with that either. I hated that they changed Mei Ling's accent especially.

They really effed up Mei Ling in all versions IMO. In the PS1 version she has those annoying Jonathan Ross r's. And I would be surprised if she was voiced by someone who was even remotely familiar with what Chinese people sound like.The accent is like Dick Van Dyke's cockney in Mary Poppins.

Twin snakes is a bit cuter and a lot easier to listen to but too whitebread for a character named Mei Ling.

They should have gone for a Zhang Ziyi type, just a tad more sophisticated/polished in her speech, and English speaking otaku around the world would have gone nuts.

Congratulations Wude. A well deserved promotion.

I was reading a bit of this earlier today and I don't know why but I always picture Montag as looking like the main character from Medi-Evil for PS1. It probably has something to do with how they illustrated him on the cover of the book.

For those who still might be interested in joining in on the conversations but don't feel like springing for a hard copy or can't be arsed to actually read:

Wow Fuku-san really looks great with his shirt off :lol:

I was listening to that guy's voice acting reel earlier because of this thread and it really left an impression on me. You know that feeling after reading someone's biography or watching a really good episode of Inside the Actor's Studio? It was the complete opposite of that.

I'm thinking about going to some auditions now.

someone needs to tell ubisoft that the ancient Egyptians weren't Arab

I'd say the depiction in that screen-shot is fairly accurate. The ancient Egyptians were mostly like brown skinned caucasians similar to modern Iranians. Since nothing, as far as I know, has explicitly said "hey these are arabs" we should give them the benefit of the doubt.

I think you were trying to like one of Jeff's posts.

That actually is a feature.

Damn when I got the PM I was hoping for Ni No Kuni unboxing. Still lol'd.

English people complaining about bad teeth. Now I've seen everything.

A tooth the shape of the letter L doesn't necessarily have to be decayed.

Having played it. I would not want this game limited to a 5 inch screen. Would lose a lot
That's what's so annoying about how great the DS libary is. You can play DQ9, Ace Attorney, Hotel Dusk, ETC, but you have to do it hunched over a tiny fingerprinted game system. Yeah I don't really like handhelds.

I really wish nintendo would come out with the Wii U equivalent to the gameboy player for gamecube that plays (3)DS games and Sony would simultaneously release Vita and PSP games on the PSN. I would be in heaven.

Good man. I quit drinking soda except for the odd occasion and now stick to apple juice or water.

Saturn game. The developer is known for it's unique style and always does 2D games.

I'm so dumb that wondering what game OL posted and figuring you had the answer I right clicked to "search with google" the phrase "He's in prison" from your post to see what the game was about. "That must be a weird fairytale" I thought. #-o

That's a really cool channel and it makes me feel all warm and faggy inside bringing back all those awesome KH memories.

EDIT: Ryudo I hate you for making me aware of this channel. Now I have to spend the rest of my night watching that guy's videos instead of doing anything productive.

N.U.D.E. yay I finally know one!

I remember really wanting to try this game when it came out because it was the only Japan Only X-Box exclusive that I was aware of. That and the fact that the name was naughty teehee.

I'll be shocked if anyone can get this one without cheating. Hell I'll be surprised if they can even do that.
