I saw that thing! They had a booth at the New York Anime Fest. Kinda creepy, but pretty neat.

I think you mean impressive. The technology behind it is, anyway. Sure, the breast thing was a little sad but it's not like they're building a sex bot.

Wait, Japanese. Yeah, they're building a sex bot. Sad.

Atlus proves their membership in the Snarky Bastard club wasn't a fluke.

The comments on the web page summarize my feelings pretty well, but this little newsclip really brightened my otherwise bland day.

...Yeah.

That second video is what got me into the MMBN series (and Mega Man as a whole, really)

This is a better piece of work from them. It's also before they were famous, and since this has been my ringtone for a year now, proves that I am cooler than you. Cause that's how this works.

Neat music-based webgame.

(video) lets you toggle on/off each track of the music; interesting.

For anyone who likes Nightmare Before Christmas, a bunch of artists did some covers of the songs from that movie. For instance:

(video) Marilyn Manson covering “This Is Halloween”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5jzRyWaFew
(audio) Korn “Kidnap the Sandy Claws”

(video) Trailer for live action Dragon Ball. No, really.

I beg to differ.

My rebuttal comes in the form of a citation:

Quote

Frogs are innocent beings. Innocent meaning: Expecting no evil. As soon as the frog has figured out that you are not going to eat him, he coorperates naturally with you, gives your fingers a gentle squeeze to get to a more comfortable position, climbs a bit higher up to sit more comfortably, sits patiently while you study him or talks about him. Just like an innocent child, the frog coorporates without doing any harm. Q.E.D.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #967 on:** December 16, 2008, 12:34:31 AM »

What about poisonous frogs?

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #968 on:** December 16, 2008, 03:52:47 AM »

Can't most of them also urinate through their skin as a defense mechanism? I'd hardly call that 'giving your fingers a gentle squeeze'.

Don't get me wrong, I like frogs as much as the next 9-year-old kid, but if that website isn't being intentionally effusive for the sake of humor... that's just kind of creepy.

I know most of us probably already don't use Internet Explorer anyway, but there's apparently a nasty hole in it that can let people steal your passwords out of your browser. Might want to use Firefox or something else for a while even if you do like IE.

WanderingMind · « **Reply #971 on:** December 17, 2008, 01:07:48 AM »

I don't have to worry about Internet Explorer on my PowerBook because it's no longer available for Macs.

I haven't been able to confirm this from any website other than Pokemon-related ones, so consider it a rumor for now.

Adam "Maddie" Blaustein, the voice actor/actress, died last week of an unidentified illness at the age of 48.

Best known as the voice of Meowth from Pokemon, but we also know her as Margarete from Shadow Hearts and Arngrim, Lezard, and Lawfer from Valkyrie Profile.

RIP

Shale · « **Reply #973 on:** December 17, 2008, 01:59:21 AM »

"She"? Arngrim?

*Wikipedia*

...oh. She was transgendered. Damn, that's a hell of a vocal range.
