I wish they had kept up with power levels, at least in Daizenshuu or something, until the end. I want to know how many quadrillions Super Vegito had.

It's always funny when you get little so-called 'official later Power Levels' which at the very least lack access to Daizenshuu, and hence they end up not making sense, like when I puzzled out according to 'the official numbers', Super Saiyan 3 Goku was stronger than Super Saiyan Gogeta in Movie 12, yet Goku got his rear end kicked and the whole point of the film was the fusion, which easily destroyed the film's villain.

(Cooler's 5th form power level was given at 480 million and Gogeta's 2.5 billion. Goku going Super Saiyan in Film 5 utterly dominated Cooler, so that power must exceed 480 million. Daizenshuu's official stats say Super Saiyan 2 multiplies SS1 by a factor of 2, and Super Saiyan 3 multiplies SS2 by a factor of 4, ergo 480 million to 960 million to 3.8 billion. Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.)

It's great because I'm a FREEZA RACE with a fro, training under Mr. Satan, that goes through time beating up people like Buu and SSJ3 Goku with Mr. Satan and Videl.

I loved the Goten/Trunks/18 Tournament fight that I spent dancing, while Mr. Satan flew around beating everyone up. That made the game worth the cost to me.

I don't think it's cross-platform, no, but any modern console will let you plug your controller in to your laptop to use on PC games.

Yeah, I never realized that. That's actually clever, and I don't care if it might have been accidental.

Man, why can't more authors follow Toriyama's method of using seemingly random and inane puns to name characters. As silly as the idea of naming an entire set of characters after vegetables might sound, it makes the names rather memorable.

The guy who does Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has you covered as far as ridiculous and wonderful character names goes. Can't think of any others, though.

Skimming through DBM's better fights again on a whim, I really like the explanation cyborg Yamcha gives for the future androids being much weaker: "infinite" energy is actually bullshit and eventually the androids need some kind of maintenance to stay strong. Otherwise, they'll just draw on more and more of their reserves until they're barely operable.

Zarbon's name comes from the Japanese word for the pomelo fruit (ザボン, or 朱欒).

Dodoria's name comes from the Japanese word for the durian fruit.

i'm playing a fireza race called two finger

all moves i do in fights are going to use two fingers only

There's that move Nappa had where he points two fingers to the sky and everything explodes. I don't know what it's called.

playing the dragonball game has me wanting to watch some of the show. I never saw anything after the Cell saga, or anything before DBZ. Between the maijin buu saga, the old school dragon ball episodes, and the movie, which should I watch first?

Dragon Ball Abridged by Team Four Star.

Edit: and then read the manga instead of watching anything else.

Edit: Except the Battle of Gods movie. That one is cool and good.

Battle of Gods is good fun. Its the campy fun of old Dragonball with a couple of great Z-style fights thrown in.

DBZ Kai is the best animated adaptation of the manga with English being the superior dub in my opinion. If you're not quite down for watching like, 90 episodes of something considering giving DBZ Abridged a look. It's a comedic fan adaptation with surprisingly endearing and well-acted takes on the characters. The first five episodes are a little rough, they start to find their footing after that and by episode 13 the show takes off like a loving rocket. The team know when to play it straight so it kind of ends up being a weirdly valid telling of the story with emotional ups and downs maintained.

I'm finally my own Mary-Sue, a female human named Quesadilla. Xenoverse is hard, but in a good way. The combat is fun for sure.

Got my boyfriend on the abridged series, heh heh. He's a relative newcomer to the franchise. I had to show him some dub clips to help him get some of the jokes. Thanks to Kai, the new generation of DBZ fans won't have to endure "this is amazing, I feel great! I! Can! Do! This!" unless they want to get obscure DBZA jokes. (All of them?!)
