ChampagnePink said: I did beat all the sidequest and it was fun. Sweet home is an excellent NES RPG to play on an emulator. It was never released in america because it was deemed too graphic at the time. If you like the game there is a movie that the game was released with. Both are great but I think the game is considerably better. It is also the game Resident Evil spawned off of.MyLonesomeCowboy said: @champagnepink: Where outside of worcester do you live?

| Damn I’m such a casual when it comes to videogames. I don’t know any of the games you’re talking about^^. I only play League of Legends and Onlinepoker once in a while. BlackSabotage said: Zerkalo said: I've read some of Ultra Gash Inferno it's by the king of Ero Guro. Also classic rock and heavy metal are the same in my book. Also if you wanna become a true movie buff check out films by Akira Kurasawa. That got forever changed the way I look at film. Kurasawa is indeed a very good director. I’ve only seen 7 Samurai so far but it was great. I’m planning to watch Rashomon but I’m having a hard time finding it with German subs. ChampagnePink said: Zerkalo, if you're a big jazz fan you should check out Emefe! My friends and I love them but they don't have that many fans. You can listen to their CD for free on their website. Anybody who's into jazz/afro will love it, or should at least give them a chance. Thanks for the suggestion. I’m actually listening to them right now and like them a lot :). |

| For all the X4 fans all I have to say is: @kurselax: watch Serial Experiments Lain, it's definitely one of the best, also maybe Utena. I know that they're both on your PTW but they're kind of icons of the period. |

(failed a few classes because of it if you know what I mean.) anyone still play the old games? as in SNES and sega genesis? I still play those on a pretty regular basis. I just recently played through Chrono Trigger. Absolutely amazing, my favorite game of all time, I think. I've started playing Mother 3, if anyone is into Earthbound, and it's pretty great. If you like the older games, you should check out Cave Story, it's a game from mid-2000s I think but done in the style of an older game. It started a huge indie game revolution, if memory serves. Sweet Chrono Trigger is one of my favorites too, I think it would make an amazing anime. I'm also a pretty big Sonic the Hedgehog nerd, but I would have to say that the Mega Man X games are some of my favorites though. |

I've got such little time to play games right now, I've got to wait until summer to get through most of my backlog. I'm glad you like comedy! Have you ever seen Trailer Park Boys on Netflix? It's like six seasons of Canadian comedy. I think that the creators of the show literally watched Edd, Ed, and Eddy (that old Cartoon Network show about the three kids in the cul de sac) and made a show about when they were grown up and still white trash. Pretty awesome. |

Yeah, we canceled our cable like a year ago since nobody really watched it and it was a bill we didn't want to pay anymore. But I do still have a TV in my room, I hook my laptop to it and watch anime. |

| I-introductions?! I'm not sure what to say. Hello! I'm Nosiy2, but i'm usually referred to as Apples (I kinda wanna change my username to something with Apples in it, but I can't think of anything good...yet) I'm just some seventeen year old from Texas. Personality wise, i'm usually kinda quiet, especially in large groups. The internet i'm a more active, but I still can have a little trouble initiating conversations with others. I'm also extremely stubborn I started watching anime about a year ago after getting into VNs, though I had prior experiences with it when I was younger (POKEYMANS, NAROOTOE etc). A huge reason why I enjoy anime is because its, well, animation, a medium I feel is extremely under appreciated by many people. I also enjoy movies (and enjoy creating them), though admittedly its been forever since i've actually watched something :s Favorites include Goodfellas, Moon, Reservoir Dogs, Ratatouille and Hot Fuzz. My preferred genre is probably comedy, but I also love psychological, thriller and mystery; There is no real genre I really dislike except perhaps mecha. Oh yeah, and I play video games. PC games to be specific, usually on Steam. Link to my account if you wanna send me a friend request or play games or something. I got lots and lots! ChampagnePink said: Anybody into comedy? I love Arrested Development and have been watching Louie on Netflix recently. Can't wait for the new AD season in May. Hnnngg I LOVE Arrested Development! I recently discovered it a couple of months back via netflix and watched pretty much all the seasons in the span of 2 weeks. Never before has a show made me crack up so hard. the execution, the characters, the sub-plots that weave through eachother like a Easter basket of comedy, its all just perfect! Probably my favorite TV show, though I haven't exactly seen many Suffocate said: I would find it hard to select a favourite game but if someone put a gun to my head I would probably say Fallout NV. Fallout NV is a fantastic game and is up there in my top 10 favorite games. Good taste. Might just play it some tonight...or Napoleonic Wars...or something else. Also, you have steam? Send me an friend request! |

EDIT: sad to see you don't like mecha, seems a lot of people aren't to fond of the genre these days. i guess i just fell in love ever since i watched gundam wing on toonami back in the day. eh, to each his own though :D |

kurselax said: sad to see you don't like mecha, seems a lot of people aren't to fond of the genre these days. I'm not totally fond of Mecha either, however if it's done right and I enjoy it, I will watch almost anything. A LOT of people down talked Robotics;Notes just because it didn't give off the same vibe as Steins;Gate, But I absolutely liked that show. It had a bit of romance, character development, action, sad moments, and robots. I also liked Gundam Seed and 08 team. I guess the robots and the story/characters just need to appeal to me for that genre. |
BentoLegend said: yeah characters and story play a huge role in the mecha i enjoy, that's why i loved evangelion and eureka seven so much. yeah the giant robots battling were cool as f*** but there was more to it than just that. also glad to hear you liked robotics;notes i've been meaning to watch it for a couple weeks now just been to busy with other series. i heard it was different from steins;gate, but i had a feeling it would be from the moment i read the description here on MAL so that doesn't bother me at all.kurselax said: sad to see you don't like mecha, seems a lot of people aren't to fond of the genre these days.

Maybe not as prevalent as i'm making it out to be, but it still slightly irks to see it happen. Eh, maybe its going a bit far to say i dislike it seeing as most of the mecha shows I viewed so far i've enjoyed to a degree like NGE or Gurren Lagann....or Megas XLR AKA the greatest show ever.. The genre in itself though just seems rather...unappealing I guess. I probably need to be exposed to more of it to get a deeper appreciation for it. TheLilyanna said: nosiy2 said: I-introductions?!

| Wow, looks like I'm pretty late to the thread. I'm glad this club is turning out to be so active, though! Hi guys, I'm Rena. I'm 20 and live in Finland. I've been an otaku for years, but never really had any friends who shared my interests, so I haven't been able to talk about anime much. So I joined this club to fill a huge void in my life, haha. :P Since we seem to have several metalheads here, I really enjoy 80's-early 90's thrash (and sometimes death) metal, especially Flotsam and Jetsam, Slayer, Overkill, Sodom, Anthrax and Megadeth. I'm also a big fan of Ronnie James Dio (RIP), particularly in Rainbow and Black Sabbath. My musical tastes are quite diverse though, lately I've mostly listened to classical, punk, indie folk and alternative rock. Other than that, I'm also into books, western cartoons and comics, video games and I draw and paint quite a lot. I often go on random adventures with my bike. I'm slowly working on a graphic novel, but I'm not very confident and keep redoing things over and over, haha. I'm always up for a conversation about pretty much anything :P See you around! |

I probably need to be exposed to more of it to get a deeper appreciation for it that may have something to do with it, honestly while i used to love gundam wing i never reeally got into the genre until i saw eureka seven. i don't know what it was, i think it's how quickly the mecha designs caught my attention; i loved the air surfing aspect and the over the top action/explosions (pink explosions ftw?), not to mention the great character development and story that were present as well. also, i agree a lot of people just brush off animation (or mainly anime in this matter) as childs play and don't give it a second thought. when someone i know proclaims they hate anime i always ask them "why?" and the answer i get 9 times out of 10 is "it's for children" or "you can't portray the same kind of emotion as live action with cartoons". i could recommend several series/movies off the top of my head that would prove both of those statements wrong, most at the same time. futuRENAut said: ooh cool what kind of comics are you into? i've sort of lost touch with the medium (aside form manga) long ago and just started getting back into it with the walking dead. i watched season 1 for a bit but it didn't really "wow" me so i heard from a friend that it was actually based off of a long-running comic book series and gave it a go, and WOW was i impressed. bought every volume a couple days later and finished them all later that day. also trying to pick up the astonishing x-men omnibus when i get the cash.Other than that, I'm also into books, western cartoons and comics, video games and I draw and paint quite a lot.

BlackSabotage said: That is their most popular album. Yes its great but they have plenty of other albums that are equal imo. Try Epidimie if you like really weird technical metal. It was influenced by Flotsam and Jetsam. Yeah, I usually check out new bands starting from either their best rated album or their first one, haha. I'll listen to Epidimie if I can find it; it definitely sounds promising! Exmortus420 said: So you live in Finland? Many of my favorite bands are from there. Ensiferum, Korpiklaani, Sonata Arctica, Turisas, Finntroll, you get the idea. And I must say that going on random adventures on a bike is possibly one of my favorite things to do along watching anime and reading comics and playing video games. I've had some interesting adventures myself. Any good stories to share? Yep! I like Korpiklaani too, they're original and pretty hilarious. But out of all Finnish bands I listen to Apocalyptica the most, I love the sound of a cello. Haha, that's cool. I can't think of a particularly interesting story right now though, I mostly just go explore abandoned buildings or nature, so the most exciting things that happen are running into wild animals or people. :P How about you? |

I love checking out abandoned buildings, but I do have one pretty interesting story. This one time I stopped at a gas station to get something to drink and smoke a cig ( it wasn't in a very nice area so keep that in mind) when a homeless lady came and asked me for a cig. We started talking and she asked me if I wanted to play dominos and drink some beer with her and some of her friends. I can't say no to free beer so I went along. We were playing and getting drunk which was pretty fun when all of a sudden two of the guys got into an argument, I don't know what it was about as they were speaking spanish. Next thing I know there was a bum brawl, bottles were broken over heads, blood was everywhere and needless to say I got the hell out of there. That's my only interesting story involving my biking adventures but damn that was one unexpected turn of events. |
