Top Gun

Who's picking a fight? If I'm dead wrong about something, and someone who knows what they're talking about corrects me, you can bet I'm going to listen to them. It just boggles my mind that you won't do the same. And being ignorant of things like this is why FXX shows some shitty zoomed-in version of classic Simpsons episodes instead of showing them in their proper original aspect ratio. It's like those terrible "fullscreen" versions of movies in the early days of DVD.

I was amazed that the ambient light was noticeably dimmer even at 75% of totality. It felt like the level of light you'd normally see around 7PM or so.

Fine, don't listen to people who actually know what the hell they're talking about and continue to sound completely ignorant.

It's. Not. SD. Did you not read anything Naraku wrote?

Or you could not be a cheap fuck, crazy idea there.

No, air the content as it was originally created and don't arbitrarily cut shit out of the scene. It still blows my mind that literally everyone over the age of 20 grew up in a world of 4:3 aspect-ratio TV, and yet get completely butthurt when they see things properly presented like that.

2017 still has a few months left, we can totally make that happen!

How do people still not understand aspect ratios in the year 2017

Sneaking? It's an [as] event, they'll probably have 20 booths giving it out.

Yeah, ours looked pretty similar. Kind of a cool yellow-ish cast on everything after the storms rolled through.

No, he passed away.

If the alternative is being a living breathing episode of Maury, I think I'm doing just fine for myself.

I'm immensely entertained by you of all people attempting to comment on healthy interpersonal relationships.

You had to stop, and that's what's bothering you?

What a deal!

Never even dated, so nope.

I used to play baseball around that age, and it's cool watching kids who could play it way better than I ever could then. Plus it's nice watching people legit having fun with the game and not being overpaid prima donnas.

Neither. Though cats shit in a far more convenient manner, so they have that going for them.

Grab some Dogfish Head.

naraku and I were talking about it in who knows what other thread, but the consensus is generally that the 1999 adaptation handles the first part of the series, especially the Hunter exam, better than the 2011 version. It's sort of like FMA vs. Brotherhood in that the former spends more time covering the same material and is able to pace it better and flesh it out more. In particular there was a great little mini-arc between two of the Exam stages that was technically filler but fit in really well and let you spend more time with a lot of the other candidates. There was also a crucial little piece of backstory and Gon character development right at the beginning of the series that the 2011 series skips over in favor of chucking it in as a flashback somewhere down the line. The 1999 version probably does the Zoldycks and Heaven's Arena better as well, but I'd call Yorknew City much more of a toss-up, since I really enjoyed how the 2011 version handled it too. As far as structure goes, the 1999 series concluded Yorknew via OVA (it was literally just the last 8 episodes of the arc), then covered Greed Island via a couple more OVAs, and that's where it left off. Greed Island is the only part of the 1999 series I never saw, so I can't speak personally as to how good it was.

Luuv sent me a link to this place in the last days of the NodeBB disaster, and I remember being really happy that he was opening up his pet project to this group of people that [as] no longer gave a shit about. I didn't always agree with his moderation philosophy, and there were probably a few times I was a snarky asshole to him for no good reason, but God, it was crystal-clear how much he had invested in this community. He put up with our shit for almost 15 years, and yet he never stopped trying to make this a fun and engaging place to log in and hang out every day. More than anything else, that's what I'll remember about him. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. We'll text-flood the hell out of this place in your memory.

I feel like I was temped...once maybe? Or maybe not even. If I was it was banal enough that I don't even remember it. I do fondly remember getting warned for spamming the hell out of the reviews folder with a few other people the night [as] fucked up and skipped an episode of a show rerun.

Shit. Really hoping this is all just a crazy misunderstanding.

Oh he most certainly can't. I mean the entire premise of Sword Art Online the "death game" completely breaks down if you stop and think about it for more than 30 seconds.

Honestly the Excalibur arc was pretty much the only time the series resembled an actual MMO.
