the second one in the tomb of the giants, which i found accidentally in a dark little alcove

for all i know there could be another one, but this is the closest one i could find

It is the very fact that he’s a male that makes him a trap

Thus attraction to traps is attraction to males
biggest logic leap ever
If you weren’t gay, why does the fact that he’s a male not bother you?
because it's easy as fuck to ignore it

gay guys like guys who look like guys

that's kind of the point of being gay

if there ever was a gay guy who likes girly looking guys, then they're probably either straight or bisexual
But people who like traps like traps for being guys

The penis is not a compromise, it’s an attraction
maybe some do

Does it really matter?

Is it because traps are gay and guys don’t want to be gay?
But liking traps isn't gay
It's gay
Wrong
Its only gay if you suck the traps dick
i don't agree

it's conceivable that you could suck someone's dick out of courtesy, and not because you have any sexual desire to

You know it's odd

Verb is watching more anime than some of the "weebs" on this site, which really gets my noggin joggin

Maybe it's just the best industry to critique since it's just too easy sometimes.
you should watch devilman crybaby
I still haven't watched the shows I told myself I would

It`s not about anime trope itself, it`s about how it`s used. You said yourself in review of Devilman Crybaby, that tropes there were used in way they are interesting, which is not the case in SAO. You hate Ghost in the Shell, because while you might like the concept of show, you don`t like it`s realization, I hate Sword Art Online, because while I might like or enjoy anime tropes, I dislike how it was used in Sword Art Online.
hmm, fair enough i suppose

Have you reviewed cowboy Bebop yet? That shit is mad depressing son.
yeah, but i wasn't super into it

i had mixed feelings about it, since some of the episodes are very good, but they were mixed in with some pretty dull ones as well

the ones that were good really left an impression on me, though, like the first episode and the lobster episode

Devilman Crybaby (Science Saru, 2018, completed) After giving this show multiple rewatches over the past few days, I think I can finally see where I stand with it now. I've tried somewhere between 70 to 80 different shows and films of all genres, popular and obscure, and none of the shows have come close to what I'd describe as my "dream anime." I've come to accept within myself that anime, as a medium, simply doesn't have a lot to offer somebody like me. Most of it is made for human beings who possess a joe de vivre to some degree. It's for people who enjoy simple pleasures (sex, violence, cute things, bla bla bla) that are unchallenging, quickly digested, and easy to enjoy. It's for escapists. It's a highly consumable and disposable medium for people who don't like to think very much, and just wish to be entertained in some carnal way, because it lets them live in a zanier world for a little while. Personally, I hate everything about this, which is why it's so difficult for me to find anything to enjoy from this medium, and why I look down at people who are able to. Escapism isn't artistic to me. It's pap. And then a show like this comes along. Now, Devilman Crybaby is not my dream anime because it I think it's this "deep" story filled with these incredibly intelligent themes that are far too sophisticated for your average viewer. It's very much the opposite of that, since its messages and themes are bludgeoned across your head, repeatedly, with a lead pipe. Devilman Crybaby comes closest to my dream anime because it takes all of the beaten and abused tropes that I normally HATE about this fucking medium, and actually uses them in what I'd consider to be an interesting, justified, and tasteful manner. By deconstructing several of the worst and most insufferable cliches in shonen, it's able to use these tropes for good, rather than evil, albeit in an extremely disturbing and brutally violent fashion. Whereas most anime are lighthearted, life-affirming, and don't take themselves very seriously, this is the most misanthropic anime I've ever seen. And I love that so much about it. The show relishes in displaying just how disgusting, depraved, and callous the human race really is—and while the show is about demons, the demons are used as a metaphor or pseudo-foil, not to highlight the differences between humans and demons, but to highlight our similarities. Everyone has their demons, because we ARE demons. We are horrible, depraved, mindless beings with a capacity to do much good in the world, but so often do we succumb to our most base desires. Now, I can see how people might roll their eyes at this. There are definitely moments of stupidity and hamfistedness here and there, where the sheer volume of the tropes being lambasted tends to overshadow the commentary. Less intelligent viewers will probably write the show off and mistake it for just another mindless edgy fuckfest with lots of sex and violence, rather than a comment on that form of entertainment. I didn't miss the point, though, and hopefully if you try the show for yourself, I will have adequately prepared you for it. It's relentlessly dark and depressing, though, and there's a lot of strange and bizarre shit early on that will make you question why you're watching it at first. And by the end, you might just feel empty. It's really difficult to describe the appeal of this show to someone who has conventional tastes in anime. While it is neither deep nor subtle, it's still not for the faint of heart. But I love all the characters. I love the story being told, and everything that happens just feels so "right." I wasn't into the music at first, but it's definitely grown on me. But still, even if you watch it, you might even be shocked to discover that someone like me was able to find enjoyment out of it. The easiest way to put it is this: The show made me feel something, and I felt it intensely, which is more than I can say for the vast majority of shit that I've seen. It's not perfect, but this is still a prime example of something that "transcends" anime for me. It's fucking great, and I wouldn't be opposed to checking out the manga, or even the first animated series based off of it. 8/10

Elfen Lied (Arms, 2004, completed) Most people seem to understand that this show isn't good, so I'm not going to dwell on it too much. I will say that I expected to hate it a lot more than I did, but I actually found plenty of things to like about it. It's essentially a less mature version of the show I just got done praising. It's just as dark and violent, and has a lot of the same themes, but with none of the style, taste, execution, or development. I've heard the show described as "baby's first dark anime," and I can see where that statement is coming from. I like Lucy as a character, and that's about it. Whereas the sex and violence in Devilman is used to create a beautiful grotesque of human nature, the nudity and violence in Elfen Lied is really just there for the fanservice and shock value. It's the exact opposite, and it really shows. That all being said, I didn't absolutely hate the show with every fiber of my being. It's not the worst thing I've ever seen. I can think of at least ten other shows I've seen that are far worse. Maybe twenty. So a part of me understands why the show is disliked, but there's another part of me that's confused as to why the show is hated so very much. But such is the anime community, I suppose. 3/10

Sword Art Online (A-1 Productions, 2012, completed) I've been watching this show in the background for quite awhile, slowly taking each episode in, because I know that this is a "special" show. It's everyone's favorite. And now that I'm done with it, I'm once again left wondering why so many people hate this show so goddamn much. From my point of view, this show is everything that an anime fan could ever want and THEN some. But don't get me wrong, though. I'm not saying I liked Sword Art Online. Just look at my score. What I'm saying is, if you REALLY hate this show, then why do you like anime at all? Because this show is everything that anime is, always was, and always will be. If you like Dragon Ball, if you like Eva, if you like Ghost in the Shell, and ESPECIALLY if you like Gurren Lagann, I see literally no reason why you wouldn't like this show. None whatsoever. So please, someone explain that to me. If you enjoy anime, why do you hate this show? Why is this show not perfect for you? Because from what I can tell, it has everything an anime fan could ever want. Every character, every trope, every plot point. This is what you want. It was specifically made for people like you. So what the fuck is the problem? Consider me baffled. 1/10

Eromanga Sensei (A-1 Productions, 2014, two episodes) I could copy and paste my entire Sword Art Online rant and place it here. This is another show that's very unpopular with anime fans, and I just cannot figure out why. I think the problem is that I view you all as tasteless degenerates, so when I'm given a show that appeals exclusively to tasteless degenerates, it's very confusing to me when the tasteless degenerates aren't just eating it up. Either way, I guess it doesn't matter that much. I'm not gonna continue torturing myself with this one. It's bad. It's abhorrent. You know it, I know it. Moving right along. 1/10

Angel Beats! (P.A. Works, 2010, three episodes) To its credit, based on the title and posters, I wasn't expecting this show to actually have a plot, so I was pleased to discover that it actually does. It's not a very compelling one, though, and I found myself bored with the characters and their so-tragic-it's-hard-to-take-seriously backstories. Overall, it feels like a dull kiddie drama. Can't get into it. 4/10

They're the same gun almost design wise and the onky difference is you can charge the pistol so it isn't just a shittier version of the rifle. Come on man think a little.

They're neither generic nor boring. Halo is popular because it's an extremely fun game.

I mean you'd have to be retarded to enjoy borderlands. I don't play dress up so I don't give a fuck what the weapon looks like lmao. The game was hyped as having tons of weapons, and it's just reskins. Plenty of people complained about this. I could play 1 or 2 for longer than like 10 hours before uninstalling.
anyone who complained about it is a retard, because it should've been obvious from the start

the game obviously doesn't have a billion different guns, they're the same types of guns with small tweaks here and there

and that is what makes it a cool game, and better than halo by default

Quote
I mean if you could read above preschool level you'd know that normal means normal and if you wanted a challenge Heroic is before Legendary so you'd probably pick Heroic. But hey, if you're illiterate you're illiterate.
except you're illiterate because heroic says "this is how halo is meant to be played"

which takes precedence over normal, because the game is literally saying you're playing the game wrong if you play on normal

so again, kill yourself you sad worthless cunt

Impressions:

- Sakura's fun. Her redesign is fucking awesome, and her character story is probably one of my new favorites. I like that she's kinda growing up a little bit and questioning whether fighting is really what she wants to do with her life.

- UI and menu changes are a nice change of pace. I like the platinum gold aesthetic.

- The new Arcade Mode, while LONG overdue, is an obvious welcome addition, even if they took an unorthodox route with it. The worst thing is that you don't get anything substantial out of doing it, but I like how they've actually confirmed in-game when each and every installment of the franchise actually takes place chronologically. I'm pretty sure they haven't done that before. Best of all, unlike the shitty art in the character intros, the art featured in each character's ending is much higher quality.

- Extra Battle is fucking stupid, as it turns out. There are two battles available right now: a single round fight against Shin Akuma that costs 1000 FM per attempt, where all you gain is a special title for winning, is absolutely batshit insane. The AI just relentlessly tears your asshole apart, and while I was eventually able to beat him (after wasting more FM on it than I'm willing to admit), to know that all I'm getting out of it is a title makes it one of the biggest wastes of time ever. The second Extra Battle is an ongoing one where the final prize is a Viewtiful Joe costume for Rashid. Hopefully these things get better with time.

- I'm liking all the balance changes and the gameplay in general feels a lot smoother. Not all of the new V-triggers seem all that useful, but some of them are actually pretty fun and exciting, and it'll be cool to see how the new meta will develop with them in the cards. Also, the game's input lag has been reduced to about 4 frames, which is fantastic. This wound up adding a lot of lag to netplay at first, but they patched that up rather quickly.

I've played both and apart from the face huggers none come to mind, and eve that is basically a ripoff of Alien.

An Elite, Hunter, Brute, Jackal, or Grunt is easily recognizable and you know exactly what game it's from.
and how boring they are

you're like 19 or something and you're this senile
They don't have any distinguishing features or really anything that makes them stand out from any other game. It's funny, now that I think about it Half Life is honestly one of the worst games I've ever played.
i don't care about your shit taste, why do you feel the need to let me know about it
