Anyone paying much attention to the goings on in Libya? For some reason, when seeing Gaddafi give one of his talks on BBC news, I was reminded of the badguy in the first episode of Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid... The one who threatens to wipe out the Refugees. Don't know why.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread - need to watch some classics meself. :P

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate (finally got it running on Vista! :D) Just blasted through MW2's campaign again - multiplayer is busted, though, for some reason best known to Steam. As ever, I'm playing Rome: Total War with the mod I helped make (Roma Surrectum 2). /plug Oh, and Eufloria (cool...

Not heard anyone mention either of the Dawn of War games... No one play them?

I figured it might have been done, but thread necro's aren't fun. :P I'm an Ultramarine player - not played in a while, and got a massive backlog of painting to do, but a medical degree takes up a lot of time, so it's not exactly practical at the moment! :P Might have to make a conversion of...

I was just wondering if anyone here plays a bit of Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, LOTR, or something more esoteric like Inquisitor or Battlefleet Gothic - or if the only Space Marine they've ordered around are Dawn of War's Blood Ravens. There's gotta be someone here! :P

Excellent trailer, and thanks for the info. Now I'll have a go at that! :D

My Gundam Wing dvd set. I didn't get any bonus stuff on them (because I bought the collection as opposed to the 5-ep discs) from ebay absolutely years ago. I still occasionally whip 'em out to watch some robot killy-explody-death. :)

Drink every time that someone shouts about the existence of a Gundam in Gundam Wing - i.e. "What's a Gundam doing here?!". Double points for "It's a Gundam!". Add an additional shot if whoever shouts this dies afterwards. :) I like the failed confession of love rule, and the one about the...

Just noticed this thread. Gundam Wing was AWESOME. That is all. Mainly because I've not seen any of the other Gundam series... But my point still stands.

The main body of Imperial College, yes, but the faculty of medicine is split roughly 50/50. Admittedly that's worse for me than most medical schools, but still, it gives us the excuse, come varsity day, to shout "Where are all your women?!" at the IC lot from the Medic side of the stands. :)

Here's the thing - I've only ever watched one anime that I didn't enjoy, and that was Oh! My Godess! The rest I've loved, so my reviews tend to be a bit same-ish. So, as the last one I watched was Lucky Star (subbed), I'll go with that. I'm giving it an 8 out of 10, as the artwork is good...

What ho, all! I'm Rory. I signed up a few weeks ago and have been browsing the forums ever since - I had no idea there were so many Otaku living in this United Kingdom, and it's nice to know that there are. :) A little bit about me. I'm Cardiff born and bred (not that you'd know it as I sound...

I did - incidentally, I also thought their art styles were rather similar in some regards... did any of the animators from Bebop work on Samurai Champloo?

aren't they both done by shinchiro wantanabe?

Oh yeah, Elfen Lied's finale was relatively sad too...

I've thought of another one that made me a little weepy, which might surprise some of you, namely: Lucky Star, Episode 22, from about 15 minutes onwards, when they're discussing Konata's mother, who died when Konata was quite young, and her ghost returns to see what's going on with her family...

Perhaps one to seek out, then. :)

Just happened across it in Forbidden Planet - as I understand it, it's the newest manga by Ken Akamatsu (the guy that created Love Hina), and still ongoing... So, is it any good/worth a look? I know the main male protagonist is from Wales (yay!), but other than that, I was wondering what...

Yeah, totally. This one is turning out to be quite popular - certainly, Elicia asking what was happening was heartbreaking... I'd fortgotten that Armstrong started crying, and that the Elrics didn't learn about his death 'till afterwards. There IS another bit in FMA which I thought was awful -...
