I love the idea of a company just going "crazy people happen, it's cheaper to deal with them this way"

Honestly it was a pretty good plan, and the activities they had set up for them looked really fun.

As a youth I prayed, "Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."

I was like 'holy poo poo, Deftones!', I don't think I've heard that song in 10 years.

The visuals during the deconstructing of the Bible stories were pretty ambitious, gotta give them a hand for doing something in a different style.

Yea the video montage was like the music video. I think the fact that I immediately recognized this makes me old.

American Dad's always had some great art shifts when the time or reason calls for it. Dungeons and Wagons had a pretty cool one for the b-plot with Steve and Jeff and MMORPGs way back in the early seasons.

Actually the anime Log Horizon feels really MMO at the start, albeit one designed by a crazy person and with a decade's worth of expansion cruft attached to it (there's a character who has Princess as one of her classes).

I am laughing hard right now. Most people who work on Japanese stuff have never played those games either. I mean, the most popular faux MMO property in Japan is Sword Art Online which was created by a guy who not only has never played an MMO, he seems to grossly misinterpret everything anybody has ever told him about the genre. I mean, the first world the main character Mary Sue gets stuck in with a thousand other players ( :lol: ) doesn't even have re-spawning monsters in it. At least two of the worlds don't even have character customization, instead just assigning you random avatars. Basically, it's dumb all the way down.

That said, it is more likely to find something that actually feels genuine in Japanese stuff, yeah, although most of the stuff JP gamers play tends to be F2P grindfest garbage.

1) the UK is showing the latest season on the Thursday after the US showing on Mondays.

2) there was no Kowalski in the '84 Miami Dolphins! <:mad:>

3) the writing on Snotron's Place and Barry's laundry is written in aurabesh (from Star Wars)and is like 95% accurate.

Well, again, I only saw the first 5-10 minutes. It sounds like it makes a left turn in there, though. Up to that point, it felt like it was going to be another "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven," which I have no interest in seeing. Glad to hear it's not, though.
