That sucks. One of the first pieces of pro wrestling swag I ever bought was one of his t-shirts.
R.I.P.

FLCL

Absolutly hate the show.
Now, I'm not going to go in a thread like this and just say that and leave. So allow me to explain.
FLCL is basically the ultimate example of style over substance. For the style part I'll give it credit, it definitely captures the pop-punk style very very well.
The problem is, the story is very obviously rushed. The main character hops around from love interest to love interest with no real rhyme or reason. His interactions with haruko further highlight this with him hating her every being one episode, to him falling in wuv the next.
The main character hopping from one girl to the next only further hurts the show as none of the relationships are given time to develop and we don't really spend enough time with the characters to fully understand them.
And the whole weird "this is an anime so we have to make it like an anime" craziness just obfuscates things further. In fact it turns the story into a complete mess.
Now is it the worst anime ever? No. Bleach still exists. But it's just an anime filled with missed opportunities that people seem to like since it has fantastic style. You can make excuses and say "oh it's metaphorical" but when it comes down to it, it's not going to save the show.

so I beat the mass effect 2 arrival dlc...
it's... ok. It's the worst dlc for mass effect 2 by far but it's not terrible. They definitely oversold it's importance, it's just a decent side mission with a few cool achievements.

So the general consensus is that the game is really good in terms of gameplay, there just isn't that much to do.
How's online then? Is it at least fun and competitive?

I think kids are gonna think it's odd that we used to think video chat was going to be far in the future.
Now we just have skype and it's unreliable.
Hell, pretty much anything in a james bond movie kids are going to look at and ask "what's the big deal?"

From what I've read, the only way any discussion can occur about this movie is if there are spoilers because the twist at the end seems to be the most deceive thing about the film.

I really wish stunfisk could learn voltswitch.
A mudslap voltswitch combo would be so godlike.

You're only doing that to yourself... Also I'm pretty sure they took out the foreign pkmn factor when it comes to getting shinys. On the contrary, the foreign parent chance INCREASED from about 1/1800 to 1/1300. And THIS isn't making me bored, I'm doing it BECAUSE I'm bored....there's nothing else to do right now. :/ Do you have a shellmet?

Bored out of my skull, hatching Eevee eggs with Japanese Ditto trying for a shiny. You're only doing that to yourself... Also I'm pretty sure they took out the foreign pkmn factor when it comes to getting shinys.

Not gonna lie. Your team is quite depressing to me lol. Infernape - Can't go wrong here. Get Thunderpunch on it to trump his weakness to Flying & Water. Infernape can't get thunderpunch in diamond, he can only get it in platinum or gold/silver. Agree, but it works decently enough for the final boss. THIS! While lucario is good, I may also suggest a weaville for the garchomp at the end of the elite 4. Honestly, the hardest part about beating platinum was that garchomp. You do not know pain untill you have your entire team slaughtered by one cheap as hell pkmn. I think the only way I beat him was by buying full restores and pp stalling him out.

well I just got it (with the nintendo dsi system bundle, go me?) Did I miss my chance to get a bug knight? No. You'll have to get a Karrablast (fairly easy to find around Route 6) and then trade it for a Shelmet (found at Route 8). Then, you'll get Escavalier, the Calvary (or Bug Knight) Pokemon. Do it the other way, and you'll get an Accelgor, the Shell Out Pokemon. No I meant is anyone here willing to take me up on that trade

Ok I joined.
Not really a fan of baseball but I figure if any game would work for fantasy leagues it's baseball.

Oddly enough according to wikipedia (the source for all information) there actually are cafes in japan where women dress like butlers.
For some reason that seems a lot hotter to me than women dressing like maids.

Well you could, you know, rationally explain why you dislike the show without flaming. That's always a possibility. No this show made me so mad I would have to unleash the wrath of a thousand suns just to explain it. I wouldn't personally insult people, but man this show pissed me off like you wouldn't believe. HAY GUYZ LET'S PULL OFF A HIT IN FRONT OF A CHICAGO LANDMARK LOLOLOLOLOL... No... must... restrain... self...

You're nuts, the show's awesome already. Shawn Ryan has basically brought the framework of The Shield to network TV. Don't get me started on all the problems the show has. I don't want this topic to turn into a flame war. But if you enjoy the show, fine.
