Dear Colorado weather,

Fuck you.

I'm currently on standby for search and rescue because my entire state is flooding. So now you know why if I disappear without warning.

Stay Safe Camo

Oh god damn it Eiken. Teenage curiosity lead me to watch it. I've somewhat managed to remove it from my memory. The anime is the lowest form of attempted fan service... scratch that, it's nothing but "fan service". There's a plot if you can call it that. Something about the school cultural festival and the main character doing his best to win the heart of the shy girl he likes while preventing the most popular guy in school from doing the same.

Does has some funny lines. Something about how one girl only has A cups when they're C in the least.

The manga isn't much better. Typical unwanted harem anime just that some of the girls have tits the size of their heads and bigger.
The 12 year old in the picture I think is suppose to be a parody of the over developed middle school girl. The other one is the stereotypical "unknown aged" upper classmen who may or may not have graduated years ago but for some reason is still a highschool student. 

Damn I remember too much about that. Curse my unpredictable, overly detailed memory.

Some Luna for your trouble:

Be careful, dude; don't end up needing a search and rescue team yourself. And thanks for being an awesome citizen and being on call for when stuff like this goes down.

EDIT: Completely unrelated to anything, but I remembered it existed today. My favorite academic article ever. You need access to JSTOR to read it, but I remember writing an essay about it in high school.

Some of you may recall that one of Camo's non pony related baits was a character from the relatively new anime Girls und Panzer who's obsessed with Tanks.

I would like to take this opportunity to declare that I to have an anime related bait and it's this girl from Evangelion.

Mari:

I have 4 very good reasons that I like her.

1. Dem Glasses.

2. I find her to be a much more relateable character than the main cast.

3. She's just this side of batshit crazy, and I love how eccentric she is.

4. There's this one scene were she actually goes batshit crazy with a giant robot and it's pretty fucking awesome.

Scene in question (appologies for the lack of English and subtitles, but beggars can't be choosers.):

[Moodyman90]

She's also one of the way the new Evangelion movies went off the rails as far as the original story haha. Shows up in the second movie, which is also the one where Shinji forgets he's in Evangelion and thought he was in Gurren Lagann haha.

[Scyto Harmony]

Wait, are we allowed to have non-pony bait?

Rintarou Okabe all the way!:

If you don't know him, he's from Steins;Gate.

If you haven't watched Steins;Gate, watch Steins;Gate. It's slow to start but I've been watch Anime for many years, and this is the best I've ever seen. Seriously. Watch. It.

[Frost]

Huh. Not a ton of non-pony bait is springing to my mind at the moment.

Uhh....Chell, maybe?

[Guest]

Anyone like plane pones?:

[Guest]

Off the top of my head non pony bait:

Molly (The walking dead game)

Michone (TWD TV series)

Jack (Mass Effect)

Sheva (RE5)

[Frost]

Yes, yes, Jack is quite nice as well.

[Valikdu]

Steak, Twilight. I fucking love steak.:

[Valikdu]

Serious mode: so this art is great
http://andrewryanart.deviantart.com/
well, most of it
don't care for the shipping art one bit, but everything else is completely awesome

someone needed jack?:

also, nice dragon effect/mass age juxtaposition:

[Frost]

interesting art.

The Jack picture, though, led to a 404

[Valikdu]

should work now

I do recall seeing that picture before, and found myself, for some damn reason, weirdly moved. Chell has just fought her way--several times--through a cold, artificial hell where the very walls are trying to kill her and a pair of insane, unstable machines lord over the realm like the petulant gods of old. The smile and relaxed posture says it all--she's finally, finally free.

I'm still trying to work out the implications of the fact that I connected more with the silent woman whose past we barely glimpse than just about any character that other games throw in my face, saying "LOVE THIS PERSON, YOU TWAT. LOVE THEM AND SPEND MORE MONEY"

By curiosity : what was your response to the companion cube ? In general ?

[Frost]

It's a box. A box distinguished from every other box by the fact that it had a heart on it. If not for the fact that the singular level it physically appeared in lacked any other boxes, I'd have not bothered.

Incidentally, the fact that players kept running past the one box on that level is exactly why they put the heart on it.

EDIT: I should mention, however, that I understand its significance in the story as far as how the characters treat it. People in long-term isolation, from the little I've heard, do tend to personify different objects as part of their "going bonkers" process

Man, I do that even without long term exposure. *Stares longingly at curtain* Jenny...

I personally didn't care for the cube myself either.

Well that's hardly fair, you were already heartless to begin with.

[Moodyman90]

The "joke" or meme or whatever the hell it's considered, about the companion cube was lost on me the first I heard of it and wore thin before I even played the game.

I get it, it's a box with a heart on it, supposedly doesn't feel pain, and the test chamber you use it in is designed to make you feel something for this box, even though you may or may not have been forcing other boxes through those weird field to destroy them for fun anyways, and then throw this one box into a fire.

And then, this box that had been chosen by the insane computer that you must feel something for, is brought up into your face a few more times about how you brutally destroyed it and make you feel bad.

Yeah, when I finally played Portal for the first time and came across that test chamber, I went "Ooo, so this is the companion cube.... it's just like any other box." I went out of my way in Portal 2 to save the cube cause there was an achievement and I guess in universe as a screw you to GLaDOS.

Really, we gamers and internet users in general have a habit of latching onto something and milking it for all it's worth till there's nothing left but a shriveled, dried teat that if you only knew about it from all the jokes it doesn't live up to the hype built around it.

Case in point, "Arrow in the knee."

I'll have you know I have the heart of a child.

Just gotta find it again. I know it's somewhere in the freezer...

You can have one of mine if you can't find yours. How many loving parents do you want your 'donor' to have had?

@ Frost : "loving" "parents" ? Well, I usually go for orphans. Street kids. Easier to get, lower risks. No one to miss them, no one to note they aren't there anymore.

But then what address do you mail the fingers to? From whom do you extort ransom money for the long-deceased donor?

[Harmony Ltd.]

If you think I'm in it for the money,

you are sorely mistaken.


I get more from my legal activities than I would do from criminal ones while being able to enjoy it later.


No, I do it it for the art.

Maybe one day I'll show you my collection ?

[RoboRed]

Slowly making my way through the drawfriends and comics I've missed...
