    [WANTED] - 'Emma' manga by Kaoru Mori

    You may know this, but the first 7 volumes are the main story and 8-10 are really just a bonus. Which is fortunate, because they must have had a really limited print run and unless you've got 150-odd quid lying around, you'll not get to read them :/ The amazon listing is an utter mess, isn't it...

    New Gundam Remake

    Gundam 0079 needs a remake. It was always terrible. Also there's nothing in the announcement to say what the Origin project will be exactly, so don't be surprised when it turns out to be a compilation of key scenes in CGI or some other balls.

    Blu-Ray releases put you off buying DVD version?

    I don't have the Evangelion movies, and I'll hold off on getting the Eden of the East movies because of this. Plan on getting a PS3 soon enough though, so problem solved (my monitor is 1080p / HDMI socket, so it'll be worth it).

    AV Referendum results this evening. PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!

    So, recently, I walked into McDonalds and asked for a beef burger. And they were all like 'no sorry, we don't have any beef burgers'. And I was like, 'but you're McDonalds!' So they offered to go over the road to fetch me a Quorn Burger, which I naturally refused. Then suddenly, they turned...

    A plea for game suggestions...

    Judging from the response in this thread, that may be a little premature. About three quarters of the stuff people are raving about is available in true 1080p on the PC... Ok, so one or two have rubbish mapping of controls to Mouse / Keyboard, but that's why you buy a 360 controller (or cobble...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    I'm playing the 'waste time before Portal 2 is released' game, which is currently taking the form of mopping up at the end of Resident Evil 4 and playing half hour long blasts of Crysis Warhead because I got myself a bigger monitor.

    Should I only watch Prof Layton film after the games?

    The events of the movie all happen before all Layton games currently available in the UK so, no, there's no spoilers. Supposedly, the story is being told from in some downtime between games two and three. However, it's pretty much universally true that you can pick up and play any one Layton...

    UK Anime Wiki

    I can see how this idea would be useful, but is it meant to detail current licenses, or the entire legacy of UK licenses? There must be hundreds of licenses by now. Also, wouldn't it be useful to accommodate information like: - whether a license is still active - whether a series is still in...

    Upcoming UK Anime DVD Artwork!

    So, Optimum are just rehashing their Ghibli collection artwork for their Blu Ray releases. Fair enough. It's not like there wasn't room for improvement (or room to get people reinterested in the Ghibli catalogue, as opposed to already setting it up to be a crappy premature upscale, which it...

    Desktop PC advice

    Ram? The test for that may as well be 'Can you insert a cartridge into a games console? Yes? Then you can install Ram' :P Personally, I'm running a 2 and a half year old PC with a Core 2 and a Radeon 4850. Why am I bleating about this? Because PC gaming just seems to be standing still right...

    Dead Space appreaciation thread

    Think Dead Space 2 is great, the first one pretty good and from what I've seen of Extraction, it's a credit to light-gun style shooting but... I still don't get the 'universe'. I know 95% of the appeal of the story is in the events happening in the here-and-now tension of it all (Dead Space 2...

    Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

    Do you happen to know how the levelling compares to the PS1 version? I have nightmares of setting my team into opposing side in the training mode and removing ePSXe's framerate limiter so I could get some decent levelling done in my lifetime. I hear they changed some aspect of the statistics, so...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Nice one! My tear ducts exploded when I saw the first map of that warp zone. Like most of the second half of the game, I've simply given up hope of ever conquering it. :( Currently playing Magicka (which is a top quality, very cheap game. Play a little of the demo or something). I will be...

    Qatar is Anti-Gay but they gets a Football World Cup?

    Err... wasn't the question: "Is it ok for a constitutionally homophobic sport to pick an oil rich homophobic nation to host its future shindig?" Look, I know this is clearly a troll from me, but* the above post is one of the most bizarrely bamboozling rambles I've ever seen. And three days of...

    Wait... When did it become legal to to be gay in Football?

    Opinion: Are DVD's obsolete compared to Blu Rays now?

    It's pretty much been said, but I think download will replace DVD for almost all purchases within the next two years (we already have the CD-like situation where DVDs are being sold for tuppence plus postage online). Blu-Ray is the collector's medium and will exist alongside it, but it will...

    Which Final Fantasy is the best in respect of story?

    Jesus people, it's an innocuous comment about story quality, which funny enough, isn't the entire game? The faces may change, but this forum really has never grown up to be capable of even the vaguest criticism of these games. edit: The problem is you ilmaestro, not me. This thread was...

    Which Final Fantasy is the best in respect of story?

    So we're pretending that these games are in anyway not riddled with cliche, sentimentality and plain nonsense? Oh wait, anime forum. edit: hey, up here. Let's not derail this any further. I shall have the last word, and the last word shall be out of sequence. The last word is "... Whatever..."

    Which Final Fantasy is the best in respect of story?

    VI Is possibly the least worst, but I was always more taken with the way it was structured (various party splits and departures, as well as the two halves of the game) than the strict 'story' content. Otherwise Tactics, though the original translation was always kind of incomprehensible.

    Final Fantasy XIV

    It constantly amazes me that there were two numbered Final Fantasy games out this year. Not only does no one care about them, people seem to have gone out of their way to make sure that people know that they don't care about them. (PS. I am aware of the irony)
