I watched about the first 100 episodes or so of Bleach and Naruto back when they were starting out. There were some truly great parts in those shows. Unfortunately, once the shows started to catch up with the manga, rather than taking a break, the studio (which animated both shows) opted to create filler, which was their own (HORRIBLE) storylines, and their animation got incredibly lazy. I remember taking a screenshot in disbelief one episode where they drew Naruto with four fingers. That was around the time I stopped watching. It sucks, because I loved watching those shows, but it just wasn't worth it anymore, and to catch up now would take me a few solid months. I suppose I could read the mangas, but I'm stubborn and would rather watch than read when it comes to Japanese series. I still need to finish FMA: Brotherhood. Was waiting on the last few episodes to release and got sidetracked. The only thing I know of that I'm really looking forward to right now is the new Berserk series. That is long overdue, after how the first series ended and was never picked up again.

I already want to play again, after two good long sessions yesterday. Arghh, want mooore...

Some games seem to have issues with online while others don't. I remember having issues with Bad Company a long time back - had to go into my PS3 and change some of the internet settings to get stuff working properly, though I don't rememberer what those were. PPoE and NAT stuff or something.

Ahh, it makes sense now. I feel justified - I remember the uncanny similarity between these games, as well as their release windows, and was always thinking... hrmm...

Haha. Whyy is there a picture turning the protagonist of both Infamous and Prototype into a woman? I liked Prototype - I'm glad I waited to get it on PC. Runs beautifully. Dunno if I'll ever finish the game though. (Lazy)

Hahaha. Yess. The best part is, in that last screen, that was the tactic you taught us in chat earlier today. The spray and punch - works so good!

I have played through the first part of this game waaaay too many times. I don't know why I could never get into it - it was really fun! I have it on Steam from an old Steam sale. Really need to get around to playing it someday...

Ohhh, PHP. I suck at PHP. Badly. I try to defer intensive PHP work to my co-workers when I can. HTML and CSS primarily, please! CSS is another thing. I've been doing stuff in CSS for this site, but when it comes to my personal site/Wordpress, I'm still using tables and standard HTML. I feel like I'm the most outdated Californian ever and still "thinking" in 1999. Ohh, tables. Hee, yeah, I started learning web design about four years ago, and started with Divs - I haaaate having to go back and work with tables because I never learned them and am terrible with them. Once you get good with Divs though, you'll fall in love with them. Thing about web programming though is languages are constantly being updated and old methods are constantly being deprecated, so you're always having to relearn some of the most fundamental aspects of how you program something. I haven't worked with wordpress much, though I'll have to learn eventually. That's what the blogs we set up for our clients are on. Man, editing massive, complicated software (like forums, as you must know well by now) can be such a maddening pain. I'm pretty impressed with all the upgrades and tweaks you've done to this place - I hate working with forums, the code pretty much always goes way over my head.

Hey Malicious, add mehh. Carrotan on PSN. We can do some Uncharted 2 some time.

Ohhh, PHP. I suck at PHP. Badly. I try to defer intensive PHP work to my co-workers when I can. HTML and CSS primarily, please!

Haha, I knew I would see you in this thread sooner or later!

Yeah, you just added me back - I'll send a game request. If you want/can communicate through skype I can do that, but no mic for PS3, as I mentioned earlier. 18 hours! Holy crap!

Not one of my prouder moments today. I WANNA PLAY MORE. Anyone down right now?

Extreme envy, right here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWoK3fOfs68 These guys are pretty fucking awesome. One of my favorite Japanese rock bands. They've been featured in various anime OP/EDs. This one was in Real Drive. Just found out they put out a new album in October. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHc78DyBFxU

Is it wrong to be envious of your snowpocalypse? That's like my wishing I needed glasses because I think they look cool. I'll probably spend a fair amount of time on the internet tonight as well.

I have no idea what I want to do tonight. My options are: 1) Drink the beer I have here and watch movies/netflix shows online 2) Go to the cafe nearby, get some tea and work on this latest story 3) Work late 4) Go jogging/exercise, shower 5) Try to beat Uncharted/play other games as desired 6) A combination of these things 7) Something undefined I don't know what I will choose! But I'm not feeling very energetic tonight, so I'm thinking it's going to be a combination of the lazy options. What are you folks doing tonight? (And tonight in tomorrow land, when you find this thread at a later date, etc)

I love Totilo, but I'm also a Fahey fan. Didn't read up on the Twitter exchange and don't care to. My fondness of the others varies article to article.

Wouldn't be surprised. Seems he was banned with that comment: "Tarzanti is banned. Owen Good has banned Tarzanti 12:24 PM on Jan 9"

I like how this almost got turned into another drinking thread. I thought it was for a moment before I saw Metal's post.

Ohh. I had a non-legit version of that for a while. It was pretty cool, but felt pretty lonely. The sort of thing I'd only want to play with you folks. Also, I'd want to buy it on Steam, which it'll never be.

I think he meant it in a "how dare you" sort of way.

Badass. I'll check it out at some point.

Hahaha. I'm way too cheap to buy duvel.

You could always do a Gamefly subscription instead, but I guess it depends on how long you want to play it. The ladyfriend gets back in a week, so I probably won't be playing much of anything once that happens for quite a while, unfortunately. [EDIT] How do you guys get Uncharted screens?
