“I still don't fucking understand the end of "End of Evangelion." Is Rei a clone of Shinji's mom? Where the fuck are Shinji and Asuka? Is that LCL safe to drink? I mean, where the hell can a nigga get a bottle of Perrier 'round here?”

+ Why I keep watching Evangelion

 

+ EVANGELION 2.0 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE REVIEW:  Eva is not really an experience for casual viewing.  It is - much like the graphic novel incarnation of Watchmen - a watershed moment in its particular genre, a dense and challenging work that manipulates and transcends many of the typical themes of these types of stories.

I've wanted to be a Samurai since I was 5

I think I'm about to embark on a long brewing anime kick of old favorites.

+ Samurai Champloo: Jin Vs. Mugen Fight
[ "Are you one of those so called Bad Asses?" ]

+ Samurai 7: Shimada Kambei versus Kyūzō
[ "I'm in love...I'm in love with your skills, that is." ]

+ Tekkon Kinkreet: Intro with English Subtitles
[ "C'mon, White. It's playtime." ]

I like Anime but holy #@$# people like this scare me. These people are adults, right?

Samurai Champloo has a wicked soundtrack. Example: "The Million way of Drum"

Would you kill a Pokemon?

Symphony of Eva: Shinji

"I hate myself. But I might be able to love myself. I might be allowed to stay here. Yes. I am nothing but I. I can be I. I wish to be I. I want to stay here. I can stay here!"

You Are [Not] Alone, You Can [Not] Advance

I Love Neon Genesis Evangelion and have been patiently wanting for the movie remake to reach US theaters. Sure enough I'll be traveling the one night they will be showing it locally, but that can only mean the DVD release can't be far behind....

[ Tamiya Terashima - Ihen ~ Ryuu - from Gedo Senki (Tales From Earthsea) Original Soundtrack ]

I was a little disappointed because the film is a little slow and there weren't enough dragons and magic to my liking. Still, even a disappointing Studio Ghibli film is better than half the stuff out there.

 "Licensing problems are in the way of a North American release of Gedo Senki, with the Sci-Fi Channel, which released the miniseries Legend of Earthsea in 2004, currently holding the rights to the property. Under the current situation, the film cannot be released earlier than 2009, when Sci-Fi's rights expire" { source }

"Wait around at the beginning of the game on the couch with Jenny. After you make out and wait a few seconds, the achievement will unlock, you can then get up and leave." /via

"Teabagger achievement" This is a viral achievement. You must kill and tea-bag someone who already has this achievement. Tea-bagging is standing on their face and pressing the left-thumbstick(crouch) thus making the ball-to-face connection. Repeat as desired for massive damage to the teabagged player's ego. Try not to get killed whilst teabagging as this will invetably lead to a fierce teabagging retaliation. The devs started with this achievement, so that's how the fever got started. /via
