I may be in the minority here, but I generally don't like fansubs at all, partly because the majority of the fansubs are generally catered to the "Weeaboo" crowd with abuse of random cursing and words like nee-sama, kawaii and baka.
The only time I would watch fansubs would be if the show I like will probably never get dubbed. I put my faith in accurate subbing {and dubbing} in the hands of professionals, {i.e Funimation}, plus you would supporting the anime industry by buying anime DVDs, posters, games, etc.

Shit happens.
It seems like all sports teams in Michigan are getting the short end of the stick now, wheather it is a missed call for a perfect game, or having sanctions for college football, because of some bullshit reason. It makes you wonder if there is some conspiracy going on, or if this just bad luck, right now I'm leaning towards some sort of conspiracy.

I've been there before, I really don't recommend it at all. As Mendou said, It's low quality trash compared to a lot of other places.
J.B is another example of the teenybopper trend in music nowadays. It makes me sick and the big-ass record labels thinks we will eat this shit up, because it's the "cool" thing to do.
Fuck Hip-Pop

Awesome, Wolf's Rain is a kickass series.
Hopefully, I will get my hands on that, along with Monster and FMA: Brotherhood box sets as well very soon.
It's a tie between Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew Livewire. I also like the Baja Blast Mt. Dew flavor, but they only have them at Taco Bell, and not in can or bottle form, which really sucks.

I would probably take a pass on this, considering I don't like One Piece that much, if at all, and I'm more of a Gillette person anyway.
Guess in Japan, even anime characters can be used to shill products to the people, It's like capitalism run amok.

Without oil we can't possible maintain our current populations around the world. If we cut off oil it would result in most of the human population around the world dieing. Maybe some believe that would be best for the Earth, but good luck convincing everyone they need to starve to death, freeze to death, etc, in order to protect the Earth from the human race.Problem is that nobody really opting for other options, and not thinking ahead.
It's true that we need oil NOW-- but deregulating it does nothing to fix the problem. And heck, look at what deregulation is doing-- even if the government wants to step in, the oil industry are pushing back saying that they'll fix the problem.
The way I see it, it's damned if we do, damned if we don't. We need a lot of oil to fuel our cars and keep us warm during the winter, not to mention a lot of products are oil-based in some way, so the oil giants really got us by the balls on this one, but without them, what other energy source is there for millions of cars, trucks, boats, etc. and even for our homes with heat, electricity, and so on. Basically, a lucky few will have the power, while most of us who don't have solar panels, wind turbines or electric engines will be shit out of luck.
The solution is to use oil now, WHILE looking for a way to transition to a life that doesn't use so much oil. And it's a fact at this point because oil isn't a renewable resource. But politicians continue to stop measures and funding to research for renewable energy resources... we might as well starve to death in the very end.
While I think you maybe being a tad glib in your statement, I do share a lot of the concerns you do have on this situation. Maybe when the politicians realize that even they have to pay $4+ a gallon of gas for their Land Rovers and Excursions, then they will do something about it. I highly doubt that will happen though.
Speaking of which NG, Do you think we'll see gas prices around $4+ a gallon soon due to the spill, and in turn, make everything more expensive again?
The "hardcore gamer" label is vastly overrated and very inaccurate to about 99% of gamers, but I'm sure everyone knew that by now.
Can't we enjoy the games we love to play, instead of some Internet Tough Guy claiming he is hardcore by buying a PS3/360, a huge amount of M-rated games and talk shit online? Then again, it's not hard to find ITGs on NG, claiming something they aren't and spread their bullshit into a MW2 online deathmatch.
In no particular order:
SNES, it was the system I grew up with as a kid.
Neo Geo Pocket Color, the foundation of all modern handheld gaming.
Playstation 2, nearly 10 years old and still as awesome as ever.
Xbox 360, my favorite console of this generation.
Sega Genesis, my first game console, wish I still had it today.

I'm also watching Haruhi S2 this summer too.
I really don't know what do you watch, but here are 3 off the top of my head.
Black Cat, one of the few shonen anime that avoids many of the pitfalls of a "Shonen Jump" anime, i.e. no fillers, non-stereotypical storyline, character development that is deep, etc.
Ninja Scroll, I'm fairly sure everyone knows about it, but it's worth another go through.
Eyeshield 21 is also pretty good, if your into American Football and what not. It is a great story and doesn't have a lot of stereotypical anime cliches that seems to bog down some animes into a point where I get sick of watching them.
Hope this helps.
In all honesty, I hate him alot, but not as much as Lou Dobbs, Bill O'Reilly or Hannity.
Sometimes, he does have some good points about certain issues, other times however, he tends to be a smart-ass and a Tea Party plugger with nothing more than an agenda. {Then again, what newscaster on Fox News, MSNBC, CBS, etc. doesn't have one?} Speaking of Fox News, I still believe it is the worst news channel, especially when they think that Bush during his time in office was far superior to Clinton or any other Democrat for that matter, MSNBC is a close 2nd.
Back on track here, as I said about Beck, I hate him, but he does have his good points and he doesn't sound like a stuffy hardass like Hannity or O'Reilly. If he wasn't so far-right and Pro-tea party, he would actully be the only sane guy on FNC, but that is really a hard thing to do, if not impossible.

At first, I was predicting that the Romans were going to win, until the Rajput showed the Katar and how it cut through the chainmail armor. And I kind of figured that the Romans don't really fight alone, but they are generally fight as a group, and more than likely that was the main reason why they conquered most of the world in their time, but lost to the Rajput.
It proves that the Rajput were the real "Katar Heroes" {I get it, lame-ass joke, but with some truth to it.}
I would want the ability to challange anyone who insults me to Mortal Kombat, generally for the lulz, if not that, then maybe a monster truck, so I won't worry about traffic again to and from work and wherever I go.

The Taliban are monsters, and the only way we deal with monsters like them is to hunt them down and kill the bastards. I may be liberal on a lot of things, but we have to draw a line in the sand, and stand on our two feet until the job is done.
I will agree with you about Iraq, although from the looks of things, it seems to have stablized more than expected. But, If i remembered correctly, The U.S. does not use commerical planes as missiles into tall towers in foreign lands or in anyplace for that matter, {Other than that one guy who divebombed his plane into the IRS, but that's neither here nor there.} I am aware that the coalition did kill some civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, but when trigger-happy terrorists are hiding in civilan crowds, you can't always assume that it would be peaceful until the bullets start flying, and unfortunely, innocents do get in the crossfire when it happens.
I can agree that in a war, you have to stand against each other and defend your nation, but don't fool yourself calling those who oppose you monsters and assholes and label your troups as heroes.
I may have be a bit harsh when I called the Taliban/Al queda monsters, but looking at their track record, {9/11, 2003 train bombings in Madrid, 2005 attacks in London, etc.}, Everywhere they went, ordianry people lost their lives, for a extremist, backward idealogy that craves fear and panic. It's all in the eye of the beholder.
The guy who killed your brother in arms, probably lost a few of his best friends due to your rifle fire. He may very well be a nice guy and great family man outside the war.
That's war for ya, one day he maybe just hanging out with his friends, another day, he's picking up his AK47 and killing your best friend generally because of either revenge, or he was on a mission from Allah, according to what Al Queda/Taliban says to him. In war, you can't think about what the other guy was outside the war, you have to kill him, or he kills you, more or less.

The Republic of Britannia
Where is it?
Where USA, Canada, Alaska and Japan once stood.
What system of government do you have?
Libertarian Democracy, It's was the way He wanted it to be.
Are you Diplomatic or Militaristic?
Militaristic to a degree, we have enemies on both sides of the globe, and don't like outsiders telling us what to do.
History?
In the year 2018, During the reign of the evil Chucky Z, a small band of Britannian, Irish and some other rebel groups form the Republic Army of Britannia, designed to destroy the ruling noblity that was choking the life of our great nation. The 3 colors of our flag, orange, black and white represents the founders of the RAB, Me, an Abe Lincoln robot clone, and a man known as Mr. Lamperouge, Also the first and considered permanent ruler {as a figurehead} of our Republic. After his requiem was complete, however, a massive void in the leadership position sparked Civil War between Loyalists, and the RAB. Long story short, the RAB won and burned down the old capital, Pendragon to the ground, and built a new capital in a different city called Neo Chicago.
We are a nation that flows with the stream of progress, and have a hands-off apporach with religion, assembly, speech and gun control, However we do not tolerate terrorism of any kind in our country and will swiftly deal with them in a efficent manner. We also have international influence and wish for better cooperation between other powerful nations, as of now however, we are on our guard against those who would destroy everything we worked hard on for years. December 6th is a national holiday, much like July 4th is with Americans, and we celebrate Mr. Lamperouge's birthday with feasting, fireworks and the singing of our national anthem,"Long Live Our Republic"which may be somewhat similar to the USSR's anthem, but with different lyrics.
Any characters mentioned in this story is true to historal fact, any names of characters or names of countries that are similar to a TV show I won't mention is, considered a coincendence and has nothing to do with the story.

I find that alot of what is being presented there has already been done before. A majority of it features highschool students, demons , and alot of "supernatural" themes which I believe I've seen way too often.
That is because in Japan, this is considered more relatable and a lot more appealing than some 35 yr old, washed up somebody chasing some crazy murderer. Shonen Jump has a huge influence, not only in Japan, but throughout the world, so chances are, if one anime creator/director creates a mega-hit {Naruto}, another one will be coming in fresh off the studio to our TVs and DVDs, {Bleach.}
None of these seem to be taking many risky, innovative material. The zombie fiction anime seems intriguing to me though.
I would agree with you somewhat, but the general demograpic for anime for most places outside Japan is around 13 to just below 30. Although series like Hellsing and Monster are able to attract some of the younger demograpic, even if it is generally filled with gore and sexual references.
Also, is that another new Digimon series? I thought they already released one in Japan not too long ago, unless it's that one.
Oh dear god, Digimon was a rip-off of Pokemon, and a bad one at that. If they did release another season, It was more than likely, a futile cash grab to milk the series more than nessacary, Inyuasha, i'm looking in your direction about this.
I would have guessed Cleveland. They don't really win at anything except choking.
At the end of the day, One man's terrorist is another man's patriot, it's all in the eye of the beholder.
Although, from what you said, Ranger2, It makes you sound like we should just leave the Taliban/Al queda alone in Afghanistan, and that is something we cannot do. Remember 9/11? That was no accident, OBL and Al queda, along with the Taliban, attacked us and killed 3,000 people, and destroyed 2 towers, part of the Pentagon and created a hole in Pennslyania. And for us to do nothing would simply encourage them to attack us in other ways until we litterly begged for forgiveness.
The Taliban are monsters, and the only way we deal with monsters like them is to hunt them down and kill the bastards. I may be liberal on a lot of things, but we have to draw a line in the sand, and stand on our two feet until the job is done.
I guess it exists is because some people are so old-fashioned in their way of thinking, they think that blowing off steam, wheather it's blasting people's heads off in GTA, or watching naked ladies do it is considered a sin and must be sent to rehab, along with the gambling and coke junkies, and Tiger Woods.
It makes you wonder how do they sleep at night.

Speaking of videogames adapted to anime, I just got my hands on Street Fighter II, {the uncensored one, of course.} and the Street Fighter Alpha anime movies. Best $20 I've ever spent.

It has been a month now and no one had mention this before, so I'll take up on this situation. If you haven't heard by now, there was a massive oil spill around the coast of Louisiana caused by a break in the underwater pipes of BP's massive oil rigs, and from the looks of things, it seems to spreading across the gulf, not only affecting the lifeforms across the gulf, but potentially destroying a fragile gulf-coast economy that was just beginning to recover from Hurricane Katrina.
I also believe from an energy standpoint, this is more ammo against Big Oil, and more for renewable resources, considering that the United States is currently addicted to oil and renewable resources, {wind, solar, etc.} seem to be in the early stages as of today. Obviously, breaking our addiction isn't going to be easy, but with this disaster, something needs to be done.
Finally, What do you thing Barack Obama should do about BP? If I was Obama, I would make sure that not only BP should take all the heat for this disaster, but they should foot the bill for the spill and the cleanup ahead. Of course, that will probably not happen, and give BP a slap on the wrist, while we end up footing the bill here with taxpayer's expense.
All and All, what are your thoughts, NG?

Somali pirates v.s. Medellin cartel
I've got the cartel in this one, the pirates aren't really used to fighing on land or in jungles.
Persian immortal v.s. Celt
Slight edge to the Celt, Persian immortals were used to fighting more disorganized tribes around the Middle East, while the Celts often fought against each other to toughen themselves against outsiders.
K.G.B. v.s. C.I.A.
C.I.A. will win here, but it will be pretty close.
Vlad the impaler v.s. Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu, he litterly wrote the book on warfare, whereas Vlad was not really known to fight battles, but I could be wrong.
Ming warrior v.s. Musketeer
Ming warrior will take this one, I think we been lied to about Musketeers in books and movies and such.
Comanche v.s. Mongol
Mongols will win this one, like the C.I.A, they won't win by much, but get the job done.
and lastly, Navy seals v.s. Israeli commandos.
Navy Seals easily.
Hope you guess right.
Marijuana should be legal in America, but I doubt many people outside of stoners and libertarians would support the bill. Not only is it an excellent cash crop, you can't die from ODing on pot, unlike many other drugs, so you would think with those 2 things mentioned, marijuana should be legalized, if it weren't for a little thing called "War on Drugs".

I've eaten those chickens, cows, and pigs living in cramped conditions for the past 23 years, and I tell you, they are delicious.If you knew exactly how they were made and what kind of chemicals go into them, like growth hormones, I bet you'd think otherwise. Same with their exact living conditions, unless you don't care about animal rights. Read Fast Food Nation and watch Super Size Me. They give plenty of insight. There's a special feature on the Super Size Me DVD that compares how McDonald's food breaks down on its own versus food from a regular restaurant. I have to wonder what exactly McDonald's puts in their fries in order to keep them from breaking down for so long.
Holy shit, McDonalds are like the evilest bastards to walk the earth, OMFG.
But in all seriousness, I have seen Super Size Me, and generally it is nothing more than some wannabe liberal jackass who thinks that McDonalds is evil because they offer burgers and fries to hungry customers. Yes, I am well aware that Mickey D's isn't exactly 100% organic in any of its food, but they way you say about growth hormones and shit, It sounds like you're accusing them of chemical warfare.
Are you saying you are against making food cheaper and more available to those with less income?
It seems to me that you're against making food cheaper, or your argument is somewhat misguided.
Um, eating fast food on a daily or weekly basis is not a way to stay healthy. It can be dangerous, even causing death.
No shit, Captain Obvious! How long did it take you to find that out?
That should be common sense. In the US, obesity and being overweight is the second leading preventable cause of death, with smoking as number one. Poor people should not eat it that much. There are alternatives, like shelters that serve healthy food.
I'm trying not to be a jerk here, but your claims are largely based off of opinions and second-hand knowledge. If you are going after something like Mickey D's or something, try to use facts in your argument instead of trying to sound like a moral hardass with your opinions. And besides, most families don't say, "Let's go eat at the shelter", espcially if they don't want to eat next to a crazy, shank toting bum.
Fine Ol' Mafiosi. It sounds weird that Mafia is a Gangsta Name generator.
I am for Capital Punishment, A.K.A. the death penalty, but not without some changes.
1. Make sure that the criminal is truly guilty of the crime, sometimes it's easier said than done, but this will reduce if not eliminate killing the wrong man. Make sure that all the evidence is tied to the criminal and to the crime itself.
2. Limit the Appeals to 1 per criminal, the general reason why death row inmates don't take a dirt nap right after the guility conviction is because the lawyers find many ways to appeal the conviction, which in turn allows the bastard to live among the regular prison population at taxpayer's expense for 5 to even up to 30 years before he/she faces "Old Sparky."
3. Use a more efficent killer for execution, bullets. Think of all the money they would save if they used a simple method of "Two in the chest, one in the head.", compared to lethal injection, where chemicals would have to brought to the facility and other such steps to ensure the muderous bastard's death.
4. There should be three crimes that should be considered "Capital Punishment"
Murder
Child Rape
High Treason
and speaking of which, all 50 states should have the death penalty at least as an option, for murderers and child rapists. Of course in Texas, you kill somebody in cold blood, more than likely, you'll be sentanced to death anyway.

I would agree with you only because I have never really heard of ancient India's warriors, whereas the Centurions are the Roman Empire version of the Army Rangers. {I don't know very much about Roman history, so I probably just shot from the dark with that comparison.}
The one I look forward to the most would be the Navy SEALS vs. Whatever the other group is. I'd guess that would be the series finale.
