  1. Welcome, it's good to have you around.
  2. I'd say I'm probably a little claustrophobic, but in the suffocation sort of way. Small/crowded places don't bother me, just the thought of being wrapped in something and being unable to breathe. I also have an (perhaps natural) uneasiness when it comes to heights, but it's definitely not near phobia level.
  3. Bought and played a little bit of Long Live The Queen. It's a pretty solid experience, at least from a cursory experience.
  4. Welcome, I hope to see you around.
  5. Downloaded and played a bit of Kaeru nyo Panyon. Probably stick to Toushin Toshi II as my mindless grinding game while watching TV sort of game.
  6. That's kind of disappointing to hear. I've been eyeing episode 1 for awhile, but that sort of kills my interest at the moment.
  7. Sporadically and in large blocks. I tend not to read anything unless I get at least set aside a few hours for it. I like to be engaged and reading it in 15-minute blocks whenever I got the chance just wouldn't satisfy me.
  8. Probably more than most, I think.
  9. I think this sounds the most reasonable if you're going the zipping route. Multi-rar's would alleviate some of the issues with a single zipped file, but that has a number of other problems associated with it. I almost want to say just leave it as it is, in spite of read only issues.
  10. You guys are doing a good job. I was thinking about writing up one or two during Winter Break, but I don't if they'll be anything left that I've played/hasn't already had a walkthrough been done for it.
  11. Nostalgia bomb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQS1PhLVC5c Disjointed and probably not good, but I'd say it's one of my favorites for nostalgia sake.
  12. I've 4 Akira prints, a Ponyo poster right next to them, and a little Atlus shrine of games and Catherine Wall scroll on both sides of my TV. Everything else is mostly movie related.
  13. What happens after the dust settles and you win, though? Who betrays who, I wonder.
  14. After two days of modding Skyrim, I'm finally (mostly) done. I made something more than a test character finally. I haven't played it since the month it came out, so largely looking forward to tackling it again. Also downloaded and tried out Kaeru nyo Panyon.
  15. Perfect Blue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmjiyb8ggwM Was digging for an old, old Perfect Blue AMV and found this.
  16. Despite how cuckoo he's been over the last decade, he's been in a decent number of movies I've enjoyed. I enjoyed him the most in Tropic Thunder as well I think. I really hope that Les Grossman movie happens.
  17. Welcome, I hope to see you around. Enjoy your time here.
  18. Looking forward to getting this downloaded and primed and ready to go in my massive backlog. =p I'm never gonna run out of games.
  19. Besides VNs, one of the other things I consider an interest of mine is film. So, I thought it might be fun to create a topic discussing just that. To better focus the discussion, what are some of your favorite movies and maybe some of your thoughts on them? I'll start. The following aren’t arranged in arranged in any way, with exception of number one. I tried to pick these out with some variety in mind, so I attempted to reign in titles from any niche genres like all the crappy handheld horror movies I enjoy. I failed a little on that one. 1)Lost in Translation (2003) It’s a movie that I saw at the right time. I suppose it thematically clicked with my adolescent brain. It has charm, hosts some very pretty shots, has Bill Murray and a young Scarlett Johansson, is paced suitably well, and has Bill Murray. I’ve used it as my go to “let’s watch a movie at my place” date movie a number of times, so it also has some sentimentality too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_maEh38ZTw 2) Ikiru (1952) My favorite Akira Kurosawa film, though he has a number of movies that nip at Ikiru’s heels. It’s a touching movie about a Japanese bureaucrat who struggles after he finds out he has cancer. 3) [REC] (2007) One cam horror movie had to make its way onto this list. The genre is too much of a guilty pleasure of mine not to. Taking a step back and just thinking about it in terms of quality – not only against other movies of its kind, but also in general, it pretty much had to go to [REC]. 4) Drive (2011) This movie and just how much I enjoyed it surprised the hell out of me. The opening sequence is probably my favorite out of any movie and I can’t think of one that’s nearly as intense or thrilling. It’s a brutal movie and has some cool shots. 5) Whores’ Glory (2011) It’s a documentary with no narrator, no moral of the story, and no cause other than giving viewer the chance to peek into the lives of prostitutes in 3 different countries. It’s a little numbing and totally bleak. 6)Blade Runner (1982) It’s a sci-fi classic. I don’t think I need to go on too much. The last chase scene sits pretty vividly in my mind and Rutger Hauer’s speech is haunting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_saUN4j7Gw 7) A Clockwork Orange (1971) I love this movie. My friends and I have dressed up likes droogs for group costumes a number of times. I wouldn’t say it’s Kubrick’s best work, but it’s my favorite. Night of the Living Dead (1968) I saw this movie when I was five and it started me along the path of horror fandom. I was utterly obsessed with horror movies as a kid and I’m still now very much a fan of the genre. 9) Drunken Master II (1994) My favorite Jackie Chan flick and one I’d be comfortable calling his best. That final fight scene is one of my favorites out of any martial arts film. 10) Noroi: The Curse (2005) I wanted to list a Asian horror film and I ended up sneaking in another horror documentary. You can find the whole movie on Youtube if you're interested in watching it. That was harder than I expected. I feel like I neglected so many good films. So, what are some of your favorite movies?
  20. Happy birthday, Zuzu.

  21. Happy birthday, Zuzu. Your're man of now less-payed principle.
  22. To keep it simple: entertainment. They're stories told a specific way, with everything that entails.
  23. Indeed, welcome. Have a good time.
  24. Welcome, GoldenSorceror. Enjoy your time here. I hope to see you around.
  25. Playing around with Skyrim again, thinking of doing another playthrough with DLC and some mods.
