  1. Actually, I was wondering if I Mikado could turn this place into a brothel instead and lure the thief...
  2. I don't get why crunchyroll, after being paid, cannot afford to update their website. The layout for their videos and comment section just look like a fossil. I can't watch videos higher than 480 on my (admittedly) old computer without massive stuttering. I'd understand if this was an issue everywhere, but on KissAnime I can watch full 1080p smoothly. Go figure? Anyway this has nothing to do with VNs
  3. I can't say I've been too impressed with the quality lately. What happened to the awesome action sequences and music theme from the first episode? I haven't seen fight animations this repetitive since Dragoon Ball Z. (Bulat, bulat, bulat... *Salute*) On to the next Jaeger gets introduced next episode, Esdeath declares her lover, and Chelsea+Teigu Man might possibly fill the void in NR. Non-manga readers think Tatsumi's going to battle Esdeath in the ring *chuckle*. Sounds like they can't go wrong with this.
  4. I can't remember for the life of me if I learned anything useful in high school. Mostly what we learned had to be approved by the school's religious committee, also known as the three stooges. They also ran a college next door that was about as expensive as Harvard University but without the accreditation.
  5. It's been awhile since I've learned about it in Criminal Justice. I didn't remember the guy's name. These discussions really help me remember, and it also makes me research and learn new information .
  6. Hey, I avoided answering this post on the third page because I felt like you have already answered your own question. You, yourself have said you aren't sure if you subscribed to the classic definition of free will. There isn't a unifying definition for free will here, so without a set standard for "free will" I felt it was a bit pointless to delve further Have a look at some of these hypothetical questions for example, that arise due to the bolded part of your question: What is normal? Are standards of free will different for people with brain abnormalities and if so what does that say about their responsibilities? Why are people with Schizophrenia excused in court for murder, but psychopaths are condemned to death row even though both have disordered brains? As you can see where I'm going with this. Instead of answers, it becomes quite a clusterfuck of questions after questions . I don't mind discussing psychology, but it would start on a different thread. This is true in children and not so much with adults because children have more "neuroplasticity", or spare neurons for the undamaged part of the brain to grow into. The majority of surgeries are performed on children. Older patients who had hemisperectomy lost functions of tasks specific to each brain that was removed, and had difficulty recovering them if at all. It really depends on the age. Both sides are more "reactive" than we think. This was shown in the experiment when the right side was covered, and the left side answered questions automatically without even aware that it was filling in false memories for itself. We fill in gaps with our daily conversations back and forth all day using what's called reconstructive memory and it happens without any conscious effort. The memories stored in our left brain are not indestructible like we once believed. It's constantly being re-written on retrospect.
  7. Like wow, I thought Sakurai was just god at derailing
  8. (I punch myself and remind my other voice: This is no time to run monologues!)
  9. *Start from the beginning. Casually throw out Kurosawa's name from that night. Avoid answering where you ran into him.* Me:...so that's the story. Do you have a better suggestion? (Come to think of it, you look better than those frightening hags at that brothel.)
  10. ... Hold on, I just ordered a 10 ft (304 cm) pole from amazon. Please hold still. edit: Someone else decided to parody Yuuji in this scene
  11. Even the personality changes? Yikes.
  12. (DAMMIT!) *Find Kandra to borrow money and offer to explain things to her later* edit: *Make note to beat this guy black and blue later*
  13. (I feel like this thief could be talked to) Pretend to squash things. Offer to take him to the best brothel in town and attempt to steal his belongings (again) when he undresses there. *edit BTW I need to find some kind of elixir to stop that nagging voice in my head. *Make note to ask for psychotropics with the village witch doctor later.*
  14. I actually used both. Amane for a short time until I started liking Yumiko better. The picture I used for Yumiko wasn't too flattering so I removed it as I started getting into AGK... ^But that one's hawt. We needed another female here after Zeno went male on us.
  15. That's correct. The corpus callosum is the communication link between the left and the right brain. The right brain still retains motor functions of the body when the corpus callosum is severed. Here's an interesting story I read about once. In people who have had surgery on their corpus callosum, the body often acts like it has two minds. One man was sitting with a reporter when one of his legs pointed in an opposite direction and tried running off. When asked if he felt like someone else was controlling his leg, he replied, no. He still felt like he was in control.
  16. I guess a literal interpretation would be, like most of our organs we don't decide the rhythm of our heart's beat, but it's still apart of us. Who we identify as the "I" would need to be reexamined to make sense for mankind's future conversations down the line, and so the definition of free-will would also need some updating; or a new word would replace the one day archaic term. The subconscious (right) part of the brain is a highly complex, functioning system that punches inputs and the conscious mind doesn't truly understand it. That's because the right brain doesn't speak so to say. It can be influenced by the left brain and it can also be influenced by all external factors around it. It can even function independently for itself when the corpus callosum is severed.
  17. I think I want a Yumiko avatar next. I'm surprised no one's used one yet.
  18. I leave for a bit and this thread stops moving. Time to give it a push. 20 more pages. Go.
  19. Use the thief as a blanket and fall asleep.
  20. I'm tempted to play into this fetish by Photoshoping mustaches on every girl right now.
  21. I want to go steal. What are my stealing options?
  22. Me: so.. have you seen kanra lately?
  23. Ack, I have to watch previous episodes to catch up? I'll just have him freshen my memories instead. Me: I've hit my head recently and have lost my memory functions. I'm the hero with the classic amnesia trope Will you go ahead and explain to me what business I'm supposed to have with you?
