The unDEAD DC Boards Lounge version 7.1

Actually, I know exactly how to move this conversation.

You're welcome.

 

[Tron Bonne]

but my conversations tend to be a bit more interesting.....like that big one we all had about transgendered brains...I started that....moral implications of genetic therapy....I started that one too

the best youve got is "oh go watch this (insert obscure anime here)"

so....yes...I am in that mode today

Yeah, so super *****e for no reason mode, like I said. I mean, what, did your baseball team lose today or something? Did 'the fandom' say something to upset your tendencies?

 

[sandwraith]

whats happening, wraith.....civil unrest, some stuff on fire, protests?

I wish...Well not really.

Basically the ruling party lost a record-breaking SIX seats in the Parliament against their 84 and they are not happy about it, calling us "Gen Y" voters irresponsible in casting their votes and forgetting the achievements of the ruling party.

Basically, its a swipe at their track record. Having more Opposition on the Parliament makes them feel uneasy for some reason. I for one am happy at the slight, intended or otherwise. Democracy can be a real b*tch for those who didn't expect to lose...SIX seats!

put that away before Johns sees that and we get a ridiculous 7 issue event out of all that

pardon this lowly sports fan for daring to speak at the highly intellectual anime/manga fans....im so sorry, I shall remove myself from your gaze

pardons, pardons

 

[Anubis]

I showed my Nieces FLCL. They're in utter and complete Luff with it....Made me watch it with them so many times I don't think I like it so much anymore.

indeed.....is that the biggest swing in quite some time then?

Well, good, something had to remove you from it.

I like sports too. Baseball isn't a sport though. It's a sleep aid.

Et tu, 'Nubs

Well, at least you loved it for a time. You still bought the **** out of it, right? That part wasn't a lie

 

[BlackLantern]

so....what is the weather like up your own ass?

 

[sandwraith]

Since Independence. You can imagine how much that must be smarting to them.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Pretty wonderful since you've removed yourself from trying to get in it

 

[BlackLantern]

its just irritating when comic nerds look down their nose at sports fans because of some pseudo intellectual crap...

you can be both, I am....I have my time for comics and my time for sports.....

Amazon had to shut down for three days due to the insane power with which I bought the Blu-Rey of FLCL. 43 programers are now pregnant because of it. There was a mudslide in Antigua, killing 400, due to the power with which I purchased FLCL. Fourteen new species came into existence shortly after I bought the f**k outta FLCL. I regret nothing.

yea....elected officials are the worst kind of entitled a-holes....we totally need term limits for senators and reps over here

they get used to the perks....free parking, low taxes, everyone kissing their ass...can't handle when the sweet gig gets taken away

Here the thing: Blu-Ray? For an anime?

I don't see the reason for it. Its not exactly a frame intensive show and I doubt the sharpness of the visuals increases for an animated feature (unless its a Pixar flick). Wouldn't it have been cheaper to get the DVD set for it?

 

[Anubis]

Wouldn't it be better if you shut the f**k up!

But seriously, it was only about a couple of bucks cheaper if I bought the DVD, so I figured, why the hell not go for the Blu-Ray.

I think we should have 1 term for everything, personally. Elected officials spend way too much time playing to their bases rather than working toward anything because they're constantly trying to one-up each other and get re-elected.

Actually, if the show was rendered in HD, it can look a lot sharper. And it can make a difference if the proper restoration is put into ones that weren't, like the Disney films. I mean, that's basically the same thing with anything, I don't know why people think animation is the exception to this. And nowadays, the price between the two is pretty miniscule.

Guess that's as good an endorsement as one can get...

I'm as big a sports fan as most you'll find on here... but I can accept baseball being referred to as a sleep-aid. It makes cricket look exciting.

I like cricket, but I can accept people considering cricket a sleep aid as well.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Hogun's actually not from the main city of Asgard. He's from some outlying realm, I think Skornheim. I guess the people there are roughly equivalent to the Asgardians, but they don't look like Aryan supermodels.

That reminds me. I've been meaning to do some homework on the other 7 worlds excluding Asgard, Jotunheim, and Helheim. Starting with Niflheim


/bored at work

 

[Tron Bonne]

Ironically, I actually like baseball

I consider Cricket to be some day-long ritual observance more than a sport. Not sure why.

 

[sandwraith]

DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!

Why! Why did I test fate and downloaded Medieval 2!!! Why!?

Now I have all of Western Europe and North Africa bowing before the might of the Kaiser but yet again, the English ***king Channel proves to be the only saving grace the English have!

 

[chamber-music]

I went into the The Dark Knight Rises spoiler board here on Hype and they are all so angry. Irrational hate and constant bickering and people trying to one up other people's made up theories. Man those kids are crazy, I'm so scared of that board now.

The Batman boards have always been crazy.

Some of those Batfans would not be out of place at Arkham if it was real
