Baccano!
No tropes, solid animation, great English voice acting (and not just the same Funimation crew), only one season, a story driven by really fun and unique characters, and a good mix of humor and drama. YouTube Edit: nvm, you chose Cowboy Bebop. 1144
Gaming / Re: What's the best Halo game?« on: January 17, 2017, 04:31:23 PM »
Halo 2 is my favorite, and is probably the best for its monumental impact on multiplayer. I also enjoyed the ending, but I think that's a minority opinion. I'd probably rank the original trilogy as equal for varying reasons.

Serious / Re: NSA watchdog placed on leave for retaliating against a whistleblower« on: January 16, 2017, 09:10:06 PM »Quote But the whistleblower said that after Ellard learned who he was, "I was denied an assignment within the NSA inspector general's office of investigations because of my whistleblowing." I'm not a fan of speculation amidst anonymous sources and ongoing investigation, and this just sounds really odd. I'm failing to see how this means the IG's office wouldn't be considered a "safe, legal, responsible" channel for whistleblowing. So the guy didn't get a job there; maybe he wasn't qualified, or there was some sort of conflict of interest clause? And even if the claim is factual, Snowden's leak was still morally dubious and ill-conceived now that he's living out a self-imposed exile/imprisonment in America's biggest intelligence rival instead of, say, being denied a certain job somewhere. Yeah, fuck a watchdog IG being petty against whistleblowers, but he's out of a job and the process is progressing. 1146

Prior consent doesn't really count, legally, but unless she's unconscious or intoxicated, a drunk person can still positively consent.

Kind of hard to be intimidated by the flood when you're an unkillable super soldier whose existence was literally the result of millions of years of genetic programming to create the ideal weapon against them.

The Flood / Sherlock season 4« on: January 15, 2017, 10:22:53 AM »
Seems like it really jumped the shark this time around. It's been getting progressively cheesier and cliche, especially with the garbage plotline with Mary, but at this point it's basically Sad Doctor Who. They treat the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories as jokes, essentially (the first episode had him solving dozens with single text messages). Mary's story gets even more unbelievable and uninteresting. The audience has no hope of solving the mystery with the characters, as it's a jumbled mess until it's solved in the last 5 minutes with a quick stream of exposition.
Episodes 1 and 2 are 4/10 so far. At least Martin Freeman is fun to watch. 1150

YouTube http://www.imdb.com/list/ls056448769/ Look at all these shitty fucking sequels. Pirates 5? Hancock 2? Fast and Furious fucking 8? Stop going to these movies. Even if you're kind of interested in them in a car-accident-witness sort of way, just don't. Pirate them or watch them on Netflix or Redbox if you feel morally obligated to financially support the downfall of cinema. Make 2017 the year you stop supporting reboots, sequels, remakes, movies based off of kids' toys, comic book movies, and generally unoriginal ideas. Go see weird indie movies, low-budget character dramas, and original films. 1152

Because if so, I'm going to be even more skeptical about this than I am about the Trump implications. The original 4chan post about the piss is in November, so either early drafts of this were circulated by the news and some anon decided to take credit, or that part is true and you can disregard that paragraph of the report, at least. It is deeply hypocritical how the media is treating this, immediately after a month-long stink about fake news -- not that many actually give a shit about anything but posting headlines that get page views. 1160

The Flood / iPad filing system is fucking stupid« on: January 10, 2017, 07:14:54 PM »
Got an old iPad from my parents and I'm going to use it for .cbr and ebooks, but goddamn Apple sucks at designing operating systems. It doesn't have a file browser (unlike virtually every other mobile device in existence), meaning you have to download an appropriate app, connect to iTunes, access that app from the program, and load individual files -- not folders -- directly into the app. Deleting the app, of course, deletes these files.
What the fuck were they thinking, that nobody using an iPad would have a need to sort files? That effectively means apps can't share files. What an unbelievably asinine way to design a tablet. And it has no native apps for viewing pdfs or other common documents. 1163
