Anime & Manga / Re: Panty & Stocking With Garter Belt - "Bitches, Whores & The Pimp: The Show"

« on: October 02, 2010, 03:44:36 AM »

Anyone coming in here expecting high brow entertainment, do a 180 as soon as you finish reading this sentence. This might seriously be the most perverted, puerile and manic thing I've ever seen. It might also just be the most refreshing anime to come out of Japan in [tornado fang]ing ages. For anyone else perverted curious enough to give this a shot, well, let's run down the basics.

PnSwG tells the story of two angels, Panty & Stocking, sent forth from heaven to rid the world of "ghosts", creatures formed out of human desire and hatred which have appeared in Daten City, a place filled with sin and crime... Or that's what they would have you believe. In actuality, the two angels, Panty and Stocking, got kicked out Invader Zim style by the powers above for their less than stellar actions and personalities. I am not making this up. As for the characters, Panty is a hot blooded, dick loving woman who fights with enchanted panties that turn into a gun and Stocking is a gothic lolita with a mouth that'd make a sailor blush and an affinity for sweets. This. Is. Actually. For. Real.

Seriously, I'm at a lack of words for this one right here. If you still need to be sold though, this animation comes from the same lead animator responsible for inspiring a whole generation to ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWER, Hiroyuki Imaishi. You can expect tons of balls to the wall crazy as [tornado fang], Tatarovsky like animation to go with the zany as [tornado fang], fetishy and BEYOND hilarious writing of each episode. Oh, did I mention that they have transformation sequences involving pole dancing that goes way beyond "well that's different" and somewhere into upper "OMG THEY CAN DO THIS ON TV?!"

See for yourself.

(Video here.)

That said, thread will now be about how many episodes it will take to get everyone here to laugh uncontrollably. I'm already out of the game just from that linked clip. Discuss away, RPM!

Well, guess I'll have to put this in here then..

See, this kinda stuff is old, annoying, and offers nothing new to this discussion or any other. We get it, Legends riles us up. Now please shut up and let us proceed with being riled up.

I wanted 3DS because of Kid Icarus (and so many other games)! Legends 3 made me love the 3DS even more than before~

It's seriously such a good time to be a gamer.

DASH / Re: Disappointments with Legends 3? Here.

« on: October 01, 2010, 06:13:47 PM »

Because of the lack of ability to put any opinion of the opposite in the other Megaman Legends 3 thread, and at fact of being -banned- for a week for it. [...] Then again, this is the internet. No such thing as free speech depending on situation and location.

Oh God, no you didn't... Of all the people in the world you could indirectly cite as being against the idea of back and forth discussions, you chose me?

I'll get this out out quickly. First off, in case I haven't been clear, my move in the initial DASH/Legends topic was more of a clear out approach to dealing with people who are going to regurgitate FUD and stick to it like it's the [tornado fang]ing bible. As of now, the price for the 3DS is undetermined for every region that isn't Japan, therefore complaining about a $300 conversion price is not a valid or strong foundation for the "I'm against 3DS" camp, UNLESS you live in Japan or plan to buy a Japanese 3DS. Secondly, in a discussion thread, you have every right to be for or against a certain topic, thus creating an actual discussion. However, this is your post:

You know, as glad as I am that Legends 3 is coming out, it is retarded to put it out on the 3ds. First of all, it's a 300 dollar system. Considering the fact that it's so expensive and for what it is--a series that is largely forgotten in most gaming backgrounds, most people's attention will be towards Loz OOT release, MGS:3 and so forth to the point where Legends won't make that many sales. Sure, die hard Megaman fans will buy it at first, but in general the masses will not bother. It's going to be the same story as to what happened with Megaman Maverick Hunter X. Unless this game is so great that it will put all other Capcom games to shame. Mark my words. It would have been smarter to put it on on systems that people already have (Wii, Ps3, and 360) than to do this. And namely since there's an idea that the minimum wage will jump again lately, gaming prices will increase soon too. So don't be surprised if you are paying $400 for just the 3ds and Legends 3.

Let's go through this as briskly as possible:

- Why exactly is it retarded to put it on the 3DS, a system that has been gathering an unprecedented amount of hype and enthusiasm from both gamers and developers? What is it that makes it so retarded in Ramzal land as opposed to Capcom HQ where most everyone talking about the little handheld that could have stated that not only is the little system plenty capable enough to do this thing the right way (See Inafune's comments on MT Framework being designed with Legends/DASH in mind and the comments about how well the engine scales onto the 3DS) but was the best fit in terms of getting it out to a new audience?

- Define forgotten. When most Capcom cameo games have at least one DASH character in them, Famitsu's "Game Series You Want A Sequel to most" column ALWAYS has DASH ranking within the highest percentile, and a decently strong Megaman fanbase in the US has clamored to Inafune over a new installment, on top of potential new sales from newcomers to 3DS looking for some good new content, I see a situation where DASH has more than enough publicity as well as a chance to shine like never before.

- The game is coming out in a time frame on the 3DS where quality efforts and content will still be in the nurturing stages. Legends/DASH 3 making the first year of 3DS' library life guarantees that consumer interest will be there since the library will be full of unproven and untested efforts, whereas Legends, or hell the Megaman name itself is certain to catch someone's interest thanks to its legacy.

- What kind of jump in logic leads you to believe that a raising of the minimum wages for the working people will lead to a $100 price jump on the system by it's launch? First off, I seriously cannot believe that this was in any way necessary to make as a point for a gaming forum devoted to Megaman games, but I'll bite since I love to dabble in different things simultaneously. Secondly, that point you raised is still irrelevant given the key detail you missed -- 3DS HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN A PRICE OUTSIDE OF JAPAN. Therefore, any price adjustments you did to get that figure are wholly based on a unproven foundation.

In short, I don't discourage discussion. I love promoting it. What I absolutely hate hate HATE is getting misinterpreted or people using FUD as a crux to their own arguments. Should the 3DS be $300 USD, then I too will resonate with your opinions in my own way, but making a conclusion based on what we have, especially given that this is a company that has been known to undercharge in their currency conversions for other countries and understand the price ceilings for certain goods, doesn't feel like a satisfactory conclusion.

Oh and since I have your initial post up in another tab to read through yet again to really get into this, what's with this "it's a video game, come on guys" nonsense? You're kinda reminding me of this:

So long as everyone is in respectable limits and keeps themselves in line, enthusiasm should never be dampened because one person finds something more trivial than another does. I can't for the life of me understand why people love watching sports as opposed to playing them, but I'll be damned to [parasitic bomb] on their parade with the equivalent of your comment towards the people who are happy for a new Legends game. ("I know the Knicks just made the playoffs for the first time in like ever, but seriously guys, it's just basketball, come on.")

Last, but not least, I think this one should really go without saying, but 10 years worth of time off to pop back up in this day and age and you have worries about Legends 3 not being up to par with modern games? That's the last thing on my mind personally, Capcom's gonna knock this one out of the park, the only question I have currently is how far it's going to go.

News and Announcements / What the [tornado fang] is happening in my thread?

« on: October 01, 2010, 02:30:27 AM »

OK, let me just be a bit clearer on some things. This thread is absolutely not getting locked, especially with how much I've pined and wanted a Legends/DASH 3. THIS. IS A. CELEBRATION. THREAD. BITCHES. So new rule, everyone in here that airs out a tepid complaint after this post over platform choice, says something that I can categorize as "herpa derp I'mma recycle /v/'s tired arguments - $300! Portable! loldash/legends", or mentions the forum's relevant BGM (although at the very least, I'll agree with some of you and your comments on an optional play/pause feature JUST for the sake of being understanding -- I love this personally) is getting a week long stay at "off the [tornado fang]ing forum".

Are we clear?

Edit: To be clear, I am totally okay with you all discussing the merits of the game being on the 3DS, as long as I don't see anything related to the as of now unconfirmed price for the system in PAL/NTSC regions used as a detriment to the discussion. I also don't wanna hear about how "bububu this system will make it more Legends-y or pander to my own console preferences". It's Legends fuckin' 3. I'd buy it for a high price on a goddamned 3DO.

Come on Jelly, that last question is extremely obvious.

Seriously speaking, I was so mad at myself for asking that after re-reading the chapter. I was kinda rushing through it earlier thanks to having a ton of work to do on my side, but talk about failure to read through little things.

Anime & Manga / Re: One Piece

« on: September 30, 2010, 06:08:17 PM »

Damn it, I was praying for the last pages to have a Bellamy styled curbstomp of the imposter Luffy. Also, all the [parasitic bomb] that was happening with Robin makes me wonder if it was the government or the revolutionaries after her. Hilarious development there with them capturing the fake Robin though.

- I can't wait to see what kind of musical based powers Soul King Brooke will have now.
- I'm dying to see what Franky's up to. He was the star of the individual Straw Hat journies by a landslide and this has to be reflected in his new self. (Although, I do kinda miss his older hairstyle...)
- I'm surprised there was no Zoro in this chapter.
- Sanji was [tornado fang]ing on point between the "women homing system", his "farewell" to the cross dressers, and his reaction when he heard that Zoro was the first person back to the ship. Tangent: Holy [parasitic bomb] Rayleigh looks like a beaaaast in that scene in Shakky's shop.
- Chopper is still so [tornado fang]ing gullible.
- 200% [chameleon sting]ing USSOP. OH MY GOD.
- Nami reminds me of old school "capably troll you before you realize it" Nami and that's kickass. Also, I think I've either been desensitized by manga or can't see much change outside the longer hair because she doesn't look as hyper sexualized as a lot of people make her out to be (same with Robin actually)

 and finally...

- Luffy. Oh God, he made friends with the animals trying to kill him and as a result couldn't eat them. [tornado fang]ing lol. Shooting down Hancock was equally unexpected, but [tornado fang]ing hilarious. That woman's totally crazy for him. The last thing I have to ask is, did Luffy & crew put out the "ads" for a new recruit for the ship or was that the fake Strawhats doing?

I suppose there's way too much awesome Legends music to choose from, but I personally would go with the Kattelox Library theme.

I also forgot about how delightfully upbeat the Lakeside Town theme is from DASH/Legends 1 and how relaxing Manda Island's Field Theme from DASH2/Legends 2 is. Man the series has some awesome music. It was like they were composing for a Saturday morning/afternoon cartoon and it's all so fitting.

Japan release date is January 27th

Sakaguchi says on the Mistwalker site

I’m working hard on the game improvement everyday, since I have given a pretty long tuning period. There is also a lot of fine tuning, but when those pile up, it could be big. God is in the details. But I recently feel and have a sense to say; maybe I will become lonely when The Last Story is completed. It is the same pain such as my own child starting their journey.

I was honestly expecting Wii.

TO be really honest... I was too, but only because of the timing between the teases for 2 new Capcom games from Capcom Europe and the Nintendo Conference (mostly because I thought that while the 3DS was going to have the focus, this was still going to be about Nintendo in general). Either way, totally [tornado fang]ing stoked for this game and 3DS in general, I mean look at this list (for myself):

Kid Icarus
Mario Kart
Paper Mario
Megaman Legends 3
Super Monkey Ball
Super Street Figher IV: 3D Edition
Kingdom Hearts 3DS
Ocarina of Time 3D
Starfox 64 3D

FFFFFUUUUUU, this temp job better come through, because never in my life have I wanted something this much, aside from when I was maybe 6 or 7 and pining for a Super Nintendo.

I've got it then:

Apple Market, The Flutter VS The Gesellschaft & The Main Gate (Legends/DASH)
Flutter Theme, Vs. Geetz & Elysium - Shuttle Bay (Legends/DASH 2)
Wildcard - Bonne's Theme (The Misadventures of Tron Bonne)

Meanwhile, I'm like dying to see the net response to this development, and after perusing /v/, I've come to the conclusion that this generation is the entitlement generation.

I don't give a rat's ass [tornado fang] about it though, it's LEGENDS 3 BITCHES.
