you ever think about who the World Government tapped to design the uniforms for the WGMC

you think that person or agency specified that the officers should wear their dress jackets over their shoulders without actually wearing them, or was that something that just got started by, like, one dude

Whoever it is, they must be rich as poo poo designing all of these clothes they don't really wear.

I'm catching up on last week and noticed that in the SAO episode that Sinon is staring at Suguha's tits like she's given up on Kirito and is trying to get all up in his sister's guts instead. This is not even mentioning I'm halfway through the ep and there's been so much non-animation.

All the VRMMO's being built on the SAO engine gets even dumber when you find out that not only are they using the tech that killed lots of innocent little kids and made the rest into killers, it also can randomly create quests without any admins or game developers knowledge that can literally destroy the virtual world. GGO, Alfheim, and all the rest of the games are just one week of inactivity from hardcore players or one or two bad plays during a big quest away from being destroyed, or at least immensely changed.

I mean, having those kinds of stakes in an actual MMO would be rad as hell since you can run around and kill the ultimate evil as much as you want and the world doesn't really respond to what you're doing, and seeing a town blow up because a quest didn't get cleared would be a bonkers social experiment, but as fun as that might be on the player side it's a real bad idea to hitch your game to that wagon as a game dev.

But yeah, Sinon was almost killed by her crazy friend and a few other people were killed for participating in a VRMMO, but it's time for actual stakes now. Will Kirito get Excalibur? Tune in next time.

Edited because I was being kind of rudely and unhelpfully sarcastic, of course SAO is just a bad show. Sorry.

Awhile ago I said I disliked the idea of the show running on multiple mmo crisis'(crisi?), but that at least sounds like a good enough justification for that. That also raises the question of why that kind of technology is being used on games, though, or why lethal games aren't immediately banned when it gets out of hand that many times in a row. Are there any mmos that don't have a body count in this world?

Well yeah, but everybody else turns the little switch for that to off, but since ALO was a quick hack job of the original SAO engine and the guy who used to run it was also insane, we get quests with Cthulhu elephant things.

Yui herself is an aberration of the system, a shittier Aura than nuAura(maybe Yui is Amaryllis?), so the game making a quest itself is not too far fetched. I know this gets thrown around a lot, but most "Die in game, X in real life" stuff happens have these 'anomalies' that pop up.

At least in .hack a lot of the issues with the system were explained by the fact that hackers gently caress everything up all the time.

You can explain all of the anomalies away with Kayaba being hypercompitent and creating a VRMMO with so much intelligent design and self-awareness that anomalies exist solely because it's so smart that intelligent things can spring from it. It's complete horseshit and vindication of a dude who killed thousands of people using tech for nothing more than to share his vision with people, but it does make some modicum of sense. Now the fact that his sole is actually infused with it and it apparently permeates all MMOs is loving stupid and asinine.

I think 4 or 6 episodes were made which aired once several years back. I don't know how hard they are to find.

e: wiki says 4 plus 2 unaired. also "the "Bible Fruit" characters were changed into anthropomorphic sports equipment". [as] video has a bunch of clips still.

So theoretically nothing's changed except that if he ever did break like that, there would be no way to stop him because everyone's too addicted to psychokiller creating VRMMOs to ever get rid of them. Good Job, Kirito.

Tune in at 9:30 EST for a Dragon Ball Z double feature! First off, the OVA "Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!" and then the main event, the uncut version of Battle of Gods!

The week after will begin Baccano! and possibly special Labor Day plans if Toonami decides to do a marathon.
