    For as much as I love all the Bubblegum Crisis related material, this is by FAR the worst one of the series. It took me a week to finish it because i kept falling asleep during it. Even Parasite Dolls was more interesting to me. We have a long running joke/test here. If you can watch Grave of...

    You're right on the Seras point. However it makes sense when framed in the mindset of an immortal, life taking, blood sucking monster. You've got to earn his respect and as of the first episode, only a handful of people had. You saw the End of Evangelion/Death and Rebirth ending. In one...

    Seen it. Amazing movie, or at least I thought so. You know, I have the opposite problem. I simply can not watch the first Hellsing series now after having tracked down the manga and read all 10 volumes. The newer Hellsing Ultimates pretty much stick faithfully to the manga and, for me, is a...

    Wearing your wedding/engagement ring

    Yea, pretty much. There are only a few situations that can get me to take my ring off my fingers. Things been planted there for going on twelve years at this point. I've got a big old bald indent in my finger when I take it off that's a few shades lighter then my skin, so even when I take it off...

    Favourite movies thread

    I think you are thinking of Alien, the first one in the series. Aliens was the follow up. Not so much tension and thriller and more kick in the door and shoot some bugs. The fighting in Fight Club is secondary to the social commentary. Wise cracking, literal son of Satan good guy, what's not...

    Favorite movies? Hoooo boy where to start? Lemme do a top 10 here in no real order: Aliens: I love this movie for so many things. If you can find the cut that chops out the colony bit in the beginning and adds the extended smart turret scene later it's perfect. This was my first R rated movie I...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    I'm sorry for your loss. We've had to deal with a funeral every year for the past 4 years with another one on the way (my uncle is in hospice). I understand all to well how that feels. Enjoy your family, by blood, choice, or heart, and give yourself some time to heal.

    My Journey from agnostic - atheist

    A couple of thoughts: I second this one. Matter of fact, if some of my old "Christian" friends knew who I was hanging around with they'd flip shit (mostly pagans, heathens, atheists, and agnostics). The state of most organized religion has me rather sick. How can so many "scholars" be so wrong...

    Frustrated single female

    This. Oh my Gods, this. >.< She can tell them to their face, in person, that it's alright, and it doesn't matter. I'm married, and thus instantly friend-zoned. It's kind of frustrating, actually, to have the same story played out over and over again.

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    You're welcome. I do try. ;) As for myself, I'm putting about the internet trying to plumb my creative side for the right kind of ideas. I've got Zombieland in the background, atm, and coming up blank on what I "need" to work on. That's the problem with a muse. sometimes she cooperates...

    He is. He's actually actively encouraging me. He knows there are things I need that I can't get in my current situation. He also feels terrible about the whole thing once he realized how under my skin it was getting. I understand why. With her upbringing she avoids confrontation like the...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    This gets extra frustrating for me. She apparently decided months ago she wanted nothing to do with us in that way, but failed to tell anyone. I've been living within boundaries set so that Pretty Lady would be okay and feel comfortable, and thus shutting down other opportunities for, well...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Doing better today. Taking IB to manage the pain in my teeth, and I actually had a pretty good time home alone last night. Now I'm feeling creative for the first time in ages and I've got A New Hope playing for background noise. I'd almost forgotten how much I adore the original three movies...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    My mouth hurts from having a lot of dental work done the past few days. Because of it I'm grouchy and irritable. I've been pondering a lot of things lately and drawing some conclusions I don't like, but I have to live with. I'm also feel frustrated and trapped, which my severe case of wanderlust...

    "The Christian Marriage"

    I'm gonna throw that in quotes for ya. ;) While I'll admit I'm not a "Hardcore Christian" in my beliefs (God is a disco ball), at least to some, I'd like to think I've hit on a pretty good philosophy that's more "Hardcore Christian" then the radical right. I'm forever rebuffing the radical...

    "The Christian Marriage"

    The part that frustrates me on "Christian Marriages", or most anything the hardcore right wing Christians preach, is that 98% of their arguments against homosexuality come from the Old Testament. The particular part of the bible they call to also forbids the wearing of gold or silver jewelry...

    Does size matter?

    Dude, it's an Elder Scrolls game. I played Daggerfall for years and never saw it all or got bored. They've perfected that style of game over the years. The only company that can match them, in story, imho s BioWare. Although I'll admit I'm a whore for them. The only game series by them I haven't...

    Bi Assumptions

    You know, in my experience with the LGBT community, being bisexual is almost a sin it seems like. You're either homosexual or hetero, but never, ever bisexual. Everyone I know involved in the community in any real way will say that their sexuality is what it takes to be with the person they are...

    I've noticed this as well. Games like Warhammer used to hold my attention for the whole 4-6 hours they'd take to play. Now I prefer much shorter games with a higher strategy/combo element to them. Playing Warmachine is akin to playing speed chess mixed with Magic. You only have so long to do...
