System Wars Lounge v15-- The Lovey Dovey Edition!

[QUOTE="funsohng"]I used to love anime but I don't anymore. So many stupid and disgusting animes out there, while the actual good ones go unnoticed. In movies, the good indie movies and other good non-blockbusters may get less attention with the audiences, but the critics love them, and that love sometimes translates to audiences loving it later on too. But in anime, there is no such thing. The whole audience and critics (what little of them actually are present) are so focused in one specific aspect (ie. moe or action) that deep analysis are almost nowhere to be seen. To this date, I can't believe people actually liked that disturbingly horrible ending of Code Geass, while good animes like Aoi Hana are just ignored completely because they aren't following the "trend".whiskeystrike

To be honest this could be applied to any media.

Most other medias tend to have a saving grace outside of the mainstream. Anime's saving grace is significantly smaller than others.

There is still some good out there, but you have to dig hard for it.

So I downloaded DOTA 2 today. I never got an invite or anything, but when I went to my games on Steam, it was available for download. None of my other friends are able to do this.

*goes to check Steam

Sorry, bro. Maybe in the future.

Anime is one of those things that you either like it or you don't. There isn't really a middle ground.

Anime, to me, is like any other tv show. If it's good I watch it, and if it isn't then I don't.

Personally I'm confused by the people who obsess over it, and watch only anime, and nothing else. I mean it's not all good.

Same goes for any type of tv show. A lot of cartoons are bad, a ton of reality shows are bad, a lot of sitcoms are bad, etc. The obsession bothers me.

So you guys get DOTA 2 and I checkmine and there's some crappy Warhammer game there. And I think that's for everybody.

Fvck off. All of you. :(

Eh, I'll watch Aoi Hana.

What's it about?

NeonNinja

I agree with your overall point, btw. Anime has definitely been on a steady decline since the new millenium. Tis a shame, oh well. :(

Aljosa23

I love how the Hawks can ONLY beat sub-.500 teams. :roll:

Hmm...Lovely dovely....I like it.

Worst anime obsessed fans are the ones that claim Death Note is the greatest thing ever.

Aljosa23

Agreed.

It's obviously 4th best right next to Hellsing, One piece, and FMA: Brotherhood in that order (from 3rd to 1st). :P

It's not bad though, it's great (well at least the first half is great, the second half is pure garbage).

Nice to know a little background, Valiant_Rebe. It's always nice to see tidbits about random stuff.

Anime topic.... if I don't like anime, which series do you think would eventually convert me? Am I forever going to dislike Anime like The Sims franchise?

[QUOTE="AcidSoldner"]

[QUOTE="funsohng"]X-COM looks sickJodyR

I think they both look sick.

The one I saw at E3 and PAX looked cool. Maxwell McGee had a closer look at it though, and would not stop talking about it at E3.

slashless was suspended for sharing how to suspension/ban dodge stuff. Whether any of his stuff was true or not, he got suspended for it (we've banned for stuff like that during the ancient ToU days). He can probably get his reinstatement earlier if he sends Synthia his side of the story and an apology via customer support. :)

*looks at time* I'll have to drop again later.

*wants Lord of the Rings: War In The North to go on a major sale on Steam* (still $50 :x )

We need to play some ProSim strategy games so that one day, we too will know something about strategy.

Nah, those are for hobbyists I believe. Generally when simulations that are made for armies are released publicly the developer publishes them.

There's one episode of Hellsing Ultimate yet until it finishes, and Death Note is 4th best to me :P

If you're into the time period then maybe you'll like the game. Then again im pretty into WW2 and still haven't figured out hearts of iron 3

theuncharted really left GS, huh? He will be missed.

Here you go apparently the game is easier than the first, says so in the first sentence.

Been looking up some interesting theories about Stone Tower on Majora's Mask and its relationship with the Triforce and Majora's Mask.

Maybe not.

I'm going to give it one last shot and try and bring him back.

If you guys want to play a great wargame/grand turn-based strategy game, you should check out Korsun Pocket

The tutorial is a premade map and a PDF (lol :lol: ) that explains the mechanics in small chunks so it will take some dedication to learn but the interface and HUD are intuitive enough to be accessible to new players.

Despite the layoffs and down sizing it looks like THQ is in fine form for the next few years.

Two new unannounced titles for 2013 and four unannounced titles for 2014. And they're all core games. This makes me happy.

It also looks like Relic has hopped on with Vigil to work on Warhammer 40K: Dark Millenium Online. This makes me even happier considering how awesome Relic is.

It was the PS3 and 360 version of uDraw that hurt them somewhat.

Still glad to see them hanging on.

Weird how so little people remember that show.

I wish Relic would stop this nonsense of making non-RTS craps and start making that Homeworld 3.IAmNot_fun
