Don't worry, these sessions never actually effect anything.

It's a bit sad as apparently Lindelof is an extremely nice guy. He's just kind of an average writer and gets onto a lot of big projects without the extra help needed to make a great script.

(Ironically kind of like Michael Bay. Bay's films fail in the writing and editing side more than his directing.)

About that...you can actually request a higher ESRB rating than your game content actually merits. The organization doesn't care.

It started as a "joke" on South Park, yes. Then over the years it became somewhat apparent that it's actually what the Parkers believe since they're libertarians (assuming the "middle" is right of center, as American politics skew pretty hard to the right in general.)

Haven't not seen JW yet and going off trailers but wouldn't the excessive gore and violence also coincide with the face that the trailers say the new dino is killing purely for sport? Not so much 'being a freak' more that they've managed to create a dinosaur that thrives off violence and death? Also, does the new dino really give orders to other dinosaurs like the trailer implies? That's really kind of stupid

For the second part (slight movie spoiler) No, it doesn't "command" other dinosaurs except for one bit where it expresses dominance over some pack dinos. The new dino is still treated like an animal. Just a fairly smart one.

You could kind of tell. No disrespect towards Phelan intended but his heart was obviously not in most of the material. He's so passionate in his normal stuff (in his sarcastic way) and that just didn't come through. He seemed way more enthusiastic in Suburban Knights (and I honestly believed he'd written his own material for that one.)

I know I will look bad for sticking up with him but he always had some weird anxiety with comments dating back when he was exclusively doing videos on wow, so he most likely shut it off for that, but now when he is trying to fight for free speech and under covering the venom of feminist he comes off like a prick.

He claims he disabled youtube comments simply because he does not like the google+ integrated system. He moved over to reddit exclusively to discuss his videos, but also has quit there due to his social anxiety. He basically has admitted he can't take any criticism and claims it causes him stress to the point it might be adding to his health issues.

He's still a prick.

I still get a laugh out of Happy Gilmore. The random outburst humor is actually built into the character and it disappears as the character goes through his arc. It also has jokes that are set up in advanced. You know, things that are absent from Sandler films these days.

That's because it wasn't a Happy Madison film. Sandler's stuff went downhill fast once he established a company.

He can still produce decent stuff if he actually tried, I suspect. Grandma's Boy was pretty drat entertaining though even that is almost ten years old.

So it's a bit of a netherzone. Is voice acting in Japan more major than in the US? Certainly, but I'm not sure I'd really go so far as to call people who are solely prominent voice actors "potential megastars" in the way we envision Hollywood actors or major pop stars being. Maybe closer to One Direction where they're a big thing and you know who they are, but if you actually know anything specific about them you're probably a teenager (or Todd).

Yeah. That's pretty much how it is. Also, most of the more commonly known Japanese VAs tend to build their status with stuff they do outside of VA work more than the actual voice acting. A lot of them are singers, theater performers, etc. and that's where their popularity mostly comes from.

Also, being a VA in Japan is still quite poo poo work. For, iirc, the first ten years (on average) a Japanese VA is actually working one of the lowest paying jobs an adult can in the country since the mandatory VA union dictates everything wage wise and it's on a hard tier system with little room for negotiation.

But remember:
1) YouTube never takes down anything without an explicit request from a copyright holder
2) If you aren't infringing, you have nothing to worry about
3) The system is in place to make it fair to ALL copyright holders, so they can take down legit infringing materials

Unfortunately, the whole thing has been wrecked by different "networks" that manage content creators and go overzealous when it comes to ANYTHING that might infringe on their workers/slaves (since most do not make much money.)

Re: Quiet There's some justification in that The End had functional lungs whereas hers are burnt to the point of uselessness.. Code Talker also has some parasites in him yet he eats and breathes normally. There's just a difference between having the parasites as a symbiotic power giver and a life support system. Her design is still dumb as poo poo, but overall there's some hamhanded logic.
