Indeed it is. While it can be commended for helping to introduce Anime to the west, ripping it up like that is still unforgiveable.

Magic the Gathering... I always listed that as one of those fads, like Pokemon or Warhammer. Well, at least they've been fads in my circle of acquaintances. Both with Warhammer and MtG I had social pressure to start playing myself, but as a year or two have passed the expensive cards and figures have been left to collect dust, reassuring me that not getting involved was for the best.

It wasn't a fad for my group... the problem was that the group fell apart... none of us except yours truely... who had more money than brains at the time, spent some cash on the cards... now I get them out every once and a while and try to convince my wife that she wants to learn how to play.

Anime discussion!

I so love having a new episode of NGE on TV every week here... no need to download them. Instead I have managed all the DBZ that hasn't shown here yet (including some crusty copied of the original with subs), and the first two seasons of Ranma 1/2 - but at 150 MB or so per episode and 12-20 eps per season, this is slow going.

And tentacle films are H I L A R I O U S! Has anyone ever seen the La Blue Girl ones? Or the equally hilarious (but no tentacles) F3 and the Evangelion Hentai - The Human Instrumentality Project? I was laughing so hard I couldn't type properly when I was in the chat and watching it. Apocalypse, Trip and Epistax thought I was insane.

Now I know where I want to go as an exchange student. Seriously, I can only think what it's like to watch it once a week. If I had all the eps I couldn't resist myself. I watched NGE in two doses, 13 episodes each...

And the toastyfrog.com 's Eva parody was hilarious, IIRC you know it (Apoc gave you the link in the chatroom once).

Evangelion Hentai - The Human Instrumentality Project

Oh my god, I might have to get that one... does it spoil the films I wonder?

I've downloaded something called "Asuka the Black Knight", it supposedly has Asuka lip synched with Monty Python and the Holy Grail... haven't watched it yet though.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Ah - I resisted getting the Monty Python one so far... One of the best NGE music vids I have seen was one done as a little tribute to Asuka based on Rammstein's Engel. I strongly suggest you get it. Every time the guy sings (or more like chants), Asuka is lip-synched pretty well, and the women singing in the background tend to be when Shinji's lips are moving! Fantastic!

The NGE Hentai doesn't spoil anything that I know of, and I have only just seen "The Fourth Child" earlier tonight. Incidentally, NGE is on here on Cartoon Network, which is not free-to-air, but is on both of New Zealand's Cable and Satellite TV options. It happens to be the Australian Cartoon Network. Other anime we get: DB, DBZ, Pokemon (all repeats), Zoids, Gundam Wing, and we had the first season of Yu Yu Hakusho, a very excellent series.

[Kassiopeia]

I'll check the Engel one, thanks.

Good. I'll tell you if the Monty Python one spoils anything you haven't seen.

I really awe my avatar. It has made my entire style of posting different. I can't even use smileys any longer.

[Kassiopeia]

"Asuka the Black Knight" is just incredibly funny if you've seen the Monty Python film.
However, MWIA, it has scenes from the episodes 21 to 22, 23 (or somewhere in that area) and I don't think you're that far yet. So I'd recommend checking it out once you've seen episode 23. Definitely not yet.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Feh. From hints I have picked up from Apocalypse, that spoof site (I read to episode 18 or so, despite not having seen that far yet - it was too funny) and the odd clip in music vids (including the Engel one), I know snatches from what is coming up. I'm not fussed as long as I don't think too hard about what I just saw.

[Kassiopeia]

Well the spoiling part is just a battle and the fact that the battle takes place in certain spot A. It's not a decisive battle though of any kind... Hmm, it's so insanely funny that you could take the chance and watch it. But don't burn me on the stake if you feel spoiled...

Manga = comix & anime = film? Thank you. Never got into that scene, so I always wonder which is which.

That really is a good one... just wish I understood more of what Rammstein's say... don't speak much German... though some of Rammstein's others are really good too... can't think of them at the moment...

I've also seen a Gundam Wing All Your Base vid... that one is great... especially with the lip sync.

err, so 1 millicredit=0.001 1 mic(k)rocredit=0.00001?

Maniac, didn't you have a list of everything you have here and its cost? how much is hive mind stuff? i'm a bit short on energy right now since i still havn't received my first paycheque

i did however read about a 15 (!!!) EC reward for coming up with the flag design

Correct. The headers are from the universal SI system and therefore the logical choice. The mikrocredit can be spelled also as microcredit; the original Greek word is spelled with 'k' so I've started to use that. But it's quite insignificant.

[Mr. President]

That reward is like the cheat to get $10,000 in SimAnt. Ants don't spend money, and I don't spend energy credits.

[Kassiopeia]

Oh dear, I'm afraid I laughed even harder now that I saw Asuka the Black Knight the second time. The lip synch is just excellent.
