Yeah it seems like the contracts they buy anymore are for one and done showings. Gone are the days of showing a series in syndication for years on loop. Really I don't think a lot of the series ASA had would have been as big in the west had they not been rerun to death. Then again that was in a time when streaming media was still mostly shit, and doing a torrent for an episode could take a up to 3 days.

Really I think the number of shots to kill zombies needs to be cut in half. Takes anywhere from 3-8 shots sans critical kills. I'd rather have ammo be more rare and not have the zombies be bullet sponges, rather than watching a zombie tank 3 rounds to the face. Just making ammo more rare would make you want to save it for the larger BOWs. As for length they probably could have made it a bit longer. I mean Re2 wasn't a carbon copy of the original. Probably in the minority on this, but I don't like the models they went with for Sherry, Clair, and Jill in these games. Clair looks like Ellie from the last of us closet cosplaying as Clair. Jill looks nothing at all like any of her past models. If anything it looked like they tried to make her look more like Alice from the shit RE live action films. Her hair rendering looks like garbage, it just looks ratty as hell, and the physics make it look like hedgehog quills. Then Sherry just looks like an ugly potato head. Ada is the only one who looks normal of the women, and it's because someone at capcom has a boner for one of the worst characters in the series.

I do understand how serious it is, and I agreed with the lockdown It needed to happen. What didn't need to happen was the panic buying, scalping, the media frenzy, people being ignorant and still gathering in groups, those acting like the world is at it's end and never going to recover etc. You are right that I'm rather blase over it though. Really I do my part. Wash my hands, stay isolated as much as I can, gave my 3m masks to nurses I know. Outside of that my hands are tied. I don't see any sense in worrying about things that are out of my control que sera, sera. Also I probably got somewhat desensitized by whatever horrible thing is going to kill us all every few years ie WWIII, terrorists, Y2K, Killer Bees, Fire Ants, Mad Cow, Duck and cover drills that were supposed to save you from an atomic blast that we had to do in 6th grade because our teacher was insane, 2012, sun flares, the poles shifting, Bath Salts, etc. Apples to oranges compared to this virus I know, but the panic is always the same every time. If everyone would just self isolate we wouldn't have as big of a problem on our hands as we do. Instead a lot of people have to either Panic and break isolation to try and hoard, are greedy and trying to scalp, or are ignorant and break isolation either out of boredom or defiance. Hell our Governor is so corrupt he tired to keep a non-essential business he owns open; until a couple of weeks later when people called him out on it, which he only then closed it. Our jackass mayor who puts virus tests on vital roads that block traffic into the city; and allowed a bakery to give away 10k free sandwiches causing thousands of people to gather in one small area over a few hours. Everyone just seems to be on knee jerk reaction mode, without actually thinking through the pros and cons. Cool you raised city moral, hope the free sandwich was worth who knows how many people getting sick, but it at least looked good in the paper.

It's bad how horribly it's managed around here. Not to mention people are idiots and are still gathering. Cousin posted this big party they were at with a bonfire over the weekend probably 300 people there. Another separate party got busted by the cops that night that had 500 people. A bunch of people got slapped with fines. My brother was going to refill some water jugs at walmart yesterday, but called it off because there was a big fist fight in the entry between a few women. It's just dumb how people are missing the point with isolation and social distancing. As for the risk of being in your car. Pretty much everyone has been rocking windows down since it hit 60 around here. Probably not the most likely way to catch it but it can stay airborne for a while. Though the weather has gotten nice and everyone is just saying fuck it and going out for fun because they're bored, it's ridiculous. I'm not really going against anything that the CDC has said though. If anything I'm saying stay home, keep clean, and be mindful of not touching your face while out. The virus though isn't a death sentence for the vast majority of humanity.It shouldn't be taken lightly and you should take steps to avoid catching it. Though this is by far from an end of days our way of life is over virus.

I just wait for games to go on sale. Watching the markiplier lets play in the meantime though. A lot of people seem to be disapointed by it though because of Nemesis being toned down and the game being so short.

Yeah I didn't like the musical episode of Dandy either. Possibly because it was written by people who didn't understand how to actually do a musical scene. Like when south park does a spoof on Musicals, it works because the creators are musical theater fans and know how to write a song and have even made their own plays. With Dandy you can tell that someone in the writers room was just like hey lets make fun of HS musical shit because it was popular 5 years ago and we're really behind current trends. Also the song has to also make sense in English and Japanese meaning that it won't make any cohesive sense at all. As for Gentle I don't think he's rich. He's just a Gentleman.

And then the power goes out and your handheld system also is at low charge.

Oh yeah the sony version is the worst app version, it is rarely kept up to date. I remember a couple of years ago it was behind the pc/xbox app by two versions and would usually crash on menu change. No idea why they drag their feet on keeping it up to date.

A sociopath has a lack of conscience, I actually have a rather good one. Even gave my 3m masks to nurses that I had, despite me being someone at risk and just having a lung biopsy done in march. I just view being upset over all the deaths caused by corona to be no different than being upset over every single car death or slip and fall related death. The sociopath thing for me to do would be to act overly dramatic and worry about it because my own personal life is at higher risk; rather than my keep calm carry on mentality. If you knew the layout of pittsburgh you'd see how easily traffic can block city access. It's effectively and island with the only way in or out being bridges. There are also over a dozen large hospitals in the city, so access getting blocked in one place cuts off nearly all of that. Even having a station out of the city will have people trying to mass exodus causing a blockage. It's almost like a city that was built to be a fort against the British in the rev war because of how easy it is to defend, wasn't the best spot for city layout with lots of large hospitals. Though what you said with the 4hr wait and taking a week to get results back is my point. First you're just wasting your time and putting your self at risk to get infected. Then it's giving false security because they may have been infected within the week it takes to get the results back. People who are getting their results are acting as if they aren't infected now, rather than they weren't infected a week ago, but it's been a week and things may have changed. I had to explain that to my braindead cousin who works at a bank and handles money. She was self isolating, but after she got her test result back she didn't see the need to and went and hung out with her friends. Then it brings to mind that if there are a few people who were dumb enough to do something then there's probably a lot more who are treating a screening test as if it were a vaccine.

What Youtube video are you watching?

You keep replying because you're tsun as fuck baka. The point I was making was that people die all the time and that it rarely makes the news. A virus happens and suddenly the media becomes a Greek tragedy. People panic and things just get worse form it. My advice so far on actually avoiding getting sick is what the CDC said. Wash your hands and self isolate having minimal interaction with people. For some odd reason people don't seem to be doing that. As for 80 million deaths it would be serious, I just wouldn't lose any sleep over it though. Also I have some doubt that, that many people will die in the next 6 months. For us to hit that the number of deaths per day would be insanely high. We would need like 220k people dying every day for the next 6 months to hit 80 million. As well they moved those medical testing sites away from hospitals because the first week was a shit show. Then they did that announcement that if you show up at the hospital and ask for a test they'd turn you away, because it did block ambulances. The ones near the stadium and highway were still blocking ambulances. The testing is really pointless unless you're forced to be around people. Your logic is that I should leave isolation, where I haven't met anyone face to face since march 13th. Go to a station with thousands of other people waiting. Just to make sure that I'm not sick? I fail to see the positive in that and only see risk if you get what I'm saying. Then lets say I get sick from having to go out and be around thousands of other people who may also be sick, what is the following steps? "you should isolate yourself for the next few weeks". Wow what a novel idea good thing I broke my isolation and got tested. Top tsun really told me I tell yah what.

It's always odd when a voice actor just pretty much uses their default voice for their character.

Over a million people every year die form cars, how is that different? Though yeah I misinterpreted that being your overall chance of dying that way vs the chance of when you're already dead of that being your cause of death; stats were right my understanding of them was not. Either way I never said that the virus should be unchecked, but I said it's over hyped and people are over-reacting making shit worse. If everyone stayed in their homes a lot of these problems wouldn't be continuing. The testing should only be done for essential workers who have to be around people. Everyone else should in theory be self isolating. Not gathering by the thousands. If the number of deaths breaks 400 million I'll agree that I was wrong and it was a bigger problem than I thought. Black Death was 200 million but the media and public opinion are raising the bar and my expectations for the little guy. Either way I'm probably just going to end up ducking out to the mountains in the next week and hope some normalcy returns by the time I come back. Aside from being isolated the whole county has zero reported cases. Try and see if I can bag a turkey, fish for some trout, watch for birds and deer. Normal pandemic end of the world stuff.

I have tried, but I gotta say that I don't really like this series. Disappointing because I really liked the idea of it. I just can't find myself to connect with any of the cast, and a lot of it just feels like it stole a lot from Inuyasha. The lack of liking any of the cast though is probably more of the issue though. It's weird because I can watch SAO in a it's so bad it's funny kinda way. This just feels like it falls short of something. I think it may be a pacing and build-up issue. Like killed a demon, caw caw next mission repeat till the spider forest. Then we have a lot of time devoted to villain backstory who are just going to die; before our main cast is even fully fleshed out. They ended up revealing a bit more about the MC's past, but for dear christ he is so damn bland I don't care. It feels like the demons are the real focal characters that carry the series, but you can't really connect with them because they aren't recurring and get killed off. Like if this series were written by anyone else a bulk of the spider family would have escaped and been recurring antagonists and possible allies down the road. The series is just very in the moment. Not to mention I really can't stand characters who do nothing but yell and cry all their lines and that's pretty much the main cast. Really doubt I'll be watching this come season 2.
