    2009 in film, your best/worst

    I can barely remember what was released this year, but the two films I do remember watching polarised my opinion enough to call bests and worsts... Best: Up The first 10 minutes or so were masterfully executed and the film truely has some of the peaks of animation history in it. And like...

    Have a playfire or other gaming site list?

    And puzzle games. But not three-dimensional ones or ones about parallel parking obviously. Rating Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with three stars? I have this strange feeling that my childhood has been coarsely insulted. I'm only still talking to you because you appear to hate Halo. Well done.

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Second run-through of Crysis Warhead having purchased over Steam this weekend, and having played through Crysis through on delta just before. I wondered what the fuss was about when I played the original first time last year. I'm surprised just how much depth the gameplay has on revisiting it...

    COD: Modern Warfare 2

    I'm waiting for someone else in the house to get the PS3 version. 360 version is already here, but I don't want to learn another controller when I'm already bad at PS3. As for the PC version... no.

    Gundam 00 Discussion

    Well it's hardly grounds for utter disassociation. Actually, it's just plain pedantic. The main reason for calling it 'Gundam 00' will undoubtedly be because 'Gundam' is by far and away the most important element of the title :P Also, the same is true of Mobile Suit Gundam Double Zeta's...

    Gundam 00 Discussion

    Err.. it's called Gundam 00 because there is a Gundam 00. The same as Zeta, Double Zeta, Victory, Wing, X and Turn-A are named after their respective main weapons. The first two should clue you into why there is a 'Double Oh' Gundam. Probably a little homage there too, since the four-digit...

    Good Sites to Legally Download Anime soundtracks (paysites)

    How do ITunes Japan tracks compare price wise? It seems to be typical to pay 25% more for a lot of media in my experience...

    Chinese democracy......

    Hehe... The vast majority of men who roleplay as female character do so because they're not gay enough to watch a man's butt wiggle in front of their HUD for the hundred of hours it takes to make any impact in the typical MMORPG. And frankly if any country in the world should embrace its LGBT...

    The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2 disc)

    It was a reasonable film, but certainly not one I'd need a two-disc edition of. Will Manga sell the 'From the Creators of Spirited Away' "angle" on the cover of this version too?

    Ocean Waves: Review (released next year in the UK)

    It's also hard to have a discussion about something you haven't seen. We can't dispute or agree with the review until it is released. Yes, we can take the recommendation under advisement, but I mean... this a Ghibli film. Even the most amazing review in the world won't change the purchasing...

    The General Conversation Area

    I didn't think this news was worthy of a thread of its own, since few will have seen the movie, but ANN is reporting that Kazuhiko Katoh, composer of (among other things) the Macross title song 'Do You Remember Love?' committed suicide a few days ago. Sad if obscure news that I learnt with a...

    Jenson Button is F1 World Champion!!!!!!!!

    If you had told me a year ago that Jenson Button would win a Formula One championship, I would have laughed in your face, even with my rusty knowledge of the movers and the shakers. My reaction now is just simply that this 'sport' - to flatter it by calling it one - has just proved once and for...

    Anime Eras: Which One Do You Prefer?

    So long as we're talking about '2D animation' from well funded projects (usually cinema / ova, but occasional series), there hasn't been any backstepping since CGI painting and rendering started to be commonly used, and every new project is visually more exciting than the last. Talking about...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Ikaruga. One day I'll do it all on a single continue. Until that day, at least I suck a little less everytime I play.

    Mobile Suit Gundam : The Movies Box Set.

    Anime legends version is just over £20 on Amazon Marketplace. I wouldn't expect to see it for much less. Char's motivations are either adaptable or ridiculously flippant, depending on your views. I've always felt that Zeta makes him too much of a good guy for Char's Counterattack to make a lot...

    Mobile Suit Gundam : The Movies Box Set.

    So you've seen the first movie? The second is generally considered a dip, but stick it out for the third, which is the best (and also the most retooled from the original series, which was never that great). No two ways about it, you need a Region 1 player. Region 2 series are: Gundam 00 (Eh)...

    Northumbria Uni/anime societies

    You're a student and you can't use google to find this stuff out for yourself? Standards are dropping :P http://mynsu.northumbria.ac.uk/studenta ... w=Standard Smaller University societies tend to come and go, so don't take this as proof the society still exists. Better to check at the...

    Under appreciated? Last Exile.

    Plays to me like Laputa via Steamboy. I'd rank Escaflowne alongside it as the kind of series many will enjoy, but few will fall head over hills in love with. It's just not as original or exciting as it's supposed to be, it's just solid.
