So this is some Assassin's Creed because that game is art in and of itself.

I think its more of a respect relationship than a show of 'we still have control over you guys.' It's not like they've ever imposed themselves on Canada or forced the country to do something against the people's will--I think anyway, I'm not a history buff. It's great that Britain and Canada still retain ties, even if it's more of a formality than anything else.

And yes, I am Canadian.

Firefly!

Good ol dvd playing powers of the 360, although I heard they do sometimes wreck the disk...hrm.

I was actually impressed with their integration of the Kinect system. At first I started groaning at the very mention of it and saying oh great what else can it possibly ruin, but Bioware had their smart hats on for this one. Using the voice recognition system like that was incredible. I can't believe I get to order my team around and tell them exactly where to go, what to do, and how to do it! I'm really hoping this serves to immerse you even further in the game.

Bioware does my heart good.

I'm working on a little JRPG called Nier. It's been pretty good to me so far if a bit strange--maybe that's why I like it. Something different. 8/10

While you don't have to play Origins to get DA2, I would definitely say play the first game and then move on. Not only does it give you the opportunity to subtly influence the history of the playthrough of your world as Hawke but it lets you understand and connect with some of the characters they bring back from the first game. Origins was a great game anyway so might as well do it in order, enjoy it, and root into the world from Origins to DA2 so it makes a little more sense.

The whole DA2 experience has far more impact if you've created a Warden from Origins.

I think endings that don't end up burrowing you in a pile of fluffy puppies are more realistic.:P I like the endings like FMA where they tie up certain things but always have consequences to the characters' actions. Consequences are the core of human living--whether that's the kind of anime that you define as 'good' or not is up to you.

And whoever listed One Piece and Naruto as examples of GOOD anime need to check themselves before they wreck themselves ;) But each to their own--have fun with that.

Mushi shi has quite a few voice actors from FMA in it--including the main character voiced by Travis Willingham, Colonel Mustang.

I think you'd probably like Trigun and Cowboy Bebop as well.

Kinda depends on what you're looking for in an anime show. I thought Ergo Proxy was brilliant.

The show doesn't lay out the plot for you--you have to piece it together, fill in some of the blanks yourself. This particular director does this a lot with almost all of his shows. The characters were unique, well thought-out, and the dystopian society a perfect backdrop for an unraveling of controlled chaos. It's a really interesting look into the human psyche, motivations, and some really sweet fight scenes to flesh it out.

Again, everything isn't explained for you. If you don't like having to think for yourself in the context of understanding some of the backstory then I wouldn't suggest watching it, but I found it to be an amazing break from most of the mindless fighting anime shows with pre-pubescent girls in skirts. I'd say give it a chance considering that it's not a very long show.

Prince of Persia--2008 version. You crazy crazy prince of persia.
