  1. Before you say anymore, TTGL was made by the same company who made the ever amazing classic Neon Genesis Evangelion. I believe Gainax knows what they had to do to make decent anime with giant robots.

     

    [hide=NO WAY THATS IMPOSSIBLE ~ze]Gainax is a studio, not an author. Although Gainax did write the TTGL manga, thats because it was released after the animu was aired. Yoshiyuki Sadamoto originally wrote NGE and was later produced into an animu by Gainax.[/hide]

     

    Gainax couldnt animate their way out of a paper robot. NGE was pretty good, but mostly for the "what the hell did I just watch" feeling afterwords. Anyone who claims it holds some 'deep' or more 'emotional' meaning, youre reading too far in between the lines, and its real meaning has gone clean over your head. To add to this, Gainax also produced FLCL. And if that is not a complete drug-induced idea to animate, I dont know what is.

     

     

     

    Kamina = Gendo + Sword - Shirt

     

    Simon = Shinji + Glasses

     

    Yoko = Misato - Clothes

     

    Nia = Kaworu + Female

     

    Kittan = Asuka - Female

     

    Spirals = Angels

     

    Final fight = CONGRATULATIONS, SHINJI!

     

    Incredible lack of a decent ending in both.

     

     

     

    The more you deny it, the stronger my theory gets.

  2. I'm harbouring a crush on all things vocaloid <3

     

    Miku is old and used goods, theres not much new for her now.

     

    Well, apart from the soon-to-be released PSP game for her.

     

    You'll probably wanna check NicoNico for any vids of her, though, RageTube is ohgodwhatthehell awful.

     

     

     

    Gurren Lagann is full of fail, imo. :|

     

    Seconded. Created by someone harbouring a deep arousal for drills, if you know what I mean.

     

     

     

    What are you talking about? Kamina's Epic Glasses and his Awesome Cape make anyone or anything look like an icon of total masculinity!

     

    No, the glasses only got sillier when Simon got his starfish ones and his cape is generic. Plus his obvious over-compensating sword just made him look like he was trying too hard.

     

     

     

    4chan

     

    The only place I trust with these sorts of things.

     

     

     

    Also;

    [bleep] year you are the greatest series ever why arent you released faster jesus christ.

  3. Okay, the problem seems to be coming from the gameui.dll file. I think. Yet ive re-downloaded the whole game multiple times so im not sure why.

     

    Could someone please browse to their left 4 dead folder and upload it for me? Unsure whether this will work, but its worth a shot.

     

    [/steam/steamapps/common/left4dead/bin/gameui.dll]

  4. So theyre trying to mod Zoey to look like whats-her-face from HL2? I dont really like it, I much prefer her current red jacket, lets her stand out a lot more during huge hordes. Plus that makes her look sort of prepared, when the whole idea was to make all the characters look like they were caught short of the apocalypse.

     

    And that 3rd person camera looks like it'd make the game far too easy. Theyre called First Person Shooters for a reason.

     

     

     

    Im also experiencing a problem, if anyone could help, thatd be fantastic.

     

    Anyway, I can no longer load a game of L4D atall. Whenever I try to create/join a game offline or online the moment I click 'start game' im immediately shown a black screen followed by the usual 'Windows is crap, and your game just crashed, were gonna send a stupid note to microsoft to help etc'. I can - however - still access the main menu. Ive tried restarting my computer, re-downloading the whole game, defragging the game, verifying the game using steam and fiddling with the video options. None of these have worked even partially. Ive not had this problem until now [and I havent deleted anything/changed any settings] so I have no clue as to what started it.

  5. How do you get the witch headshot one? Just blast her in the head before she notices you?

     

    Point blank shotgun to the face seems to be the only way to get it.

     

     

     

    I killed her without anyone taking damage (my headshot seemed to miss) but we didn't get no achievement.

     

    Yeah, achievements are still kinda buggy. Ive completed nearly 5 runs with no friendly fire incidents and a few runs by myself with no witch alerts and ive yet to get either of those achievements.

     

    And you will get like half the achievements just from standard runs on all 4 campaigns. I think I got near 20 achievements in my very first run of No Mercy. But now ive only got the 9 hardest left [untouchables, What Are You Trying To Prove?, Nothing Special etc.] and its hard to even get 1 achievement a campaign.

     

    Also, im going to try Blood Harvest Expert again later if anyone wants to help. Its possible, I almost did it with bots the other day but clipped a zombie as I stepped onto the rescue vehicle. Made me rage so damn hard.

  6. You's bein a hypocrite mate.

     

    Saying you dont like anime then saying that after saying stuff bout me when I said i dont like anime but like 1, :wall:

     

    But I dont like animu.

     

     

     

    And check where I am.

     

    Closest thing I get to an anime channel is cartoon network on Foxtel.

     

    Which pretty much only plays kid-cult "sahasuhaushaon" animes.

     

    FMA was on too late at night to have little kiddy followings.

     

    Thats all I get for an animu channel as well. Which is why I watch subbed episodes on something called the intertubes. Its this great thing that lets me download stuff across the planet. Its pretty cool, I recommend it to you.

     

    You can also try Anime Central which plays Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop late at night. And you can occasionally find Gurren Lagann and some others on the Sci-fi channel as well.

  7. tbh most of all the other anime i have seen

     

    Naruto, bleach, db, dbz, all those kinds of cult-like ones are just fighting.

     

     

     

    FMA was barely fighting and it was kinda funny too. :|

     

    Lets think outside the box for a minute and ponder a solution for this.

     

    Ooh! I know! Dont follow 'cult' anime. Like I said, its [mostly] all shounen junk. Try watching a series with a more standard number of episodes [12-26] per season. Honestly, even the Fate/Stay Night animu is rammed full of fight scenes but atleast theyre somewhat more bearable than anything in any shounen series. Mai HiME was also pretty entertaining despite it revolving around a fighting scenario.

     

    Its pointless to just watch the 5 worst shounen animu ever and complain that animu in general sucks. Try watching a grand spectrum of genres. Clannad, Death Note, FLCL, Lucky Star, MagiPoka, Haruhi, Minami-ke, Moyashimon, NGE, Rozen Maiden, Spice and Wolf, ToHeart2, Zero no Tsukaima...

  8. Change title to

     

    Anime good or bad? :roll:

     

    Last time we had that it got locked. Because ALL ANIMU SUCKS YOU GUYS LOL.

     

     

     

    It had a great storyline and wasnt overrated like DBZ and put into all kid-info books everywhere etc

     

    Not overrated? Thats a pretty big claim. It just wasnt serialised as much in the western world like DBZ was. [DBZ is overrated, just as all shounen junk is.]

     

     

     

    I love it. Best anime ever.

     

     

     

    And Im not a fan of anime.

     

    Thats just wholly contradicting.

     

    "I like dogs but I hate animals".

     

     

     

    *shrugs*

     

     

     

    I really was just wanting to share the news.

     

     

     

    This isn't the Debate forum.

     

    Then make a blog about it? A forum is generally a place to discuss.

  9. Do you guys view hiding in the closet while waiting for the elevator as cheap? We were at the elevator, and I told my team over the microphone to get into the closet. One of them typed out "[bleep] no", and threw a pipe bomb at our feet when we were in there, and a horde was outside. He severely damaged us, then ran out, got pounced by a hunter, while we were being swarmed. We all died, and he said "since that's totally cheap I'll do everything in my power to prevent you guys from using it".

     

    What difficulty? If its any less than expert ive never needed to hide in a closet. Then again, I never usually do unless im playing with another decent player. In expert its totally worth using any trick you can to keep safe, regardless of how 'cheap' it may be, at least youre going to survive.

  10. I'm not trying anything? Anime is overrated anyway

     

    Thats just as well then. And, yes, it is.

     

     

     

    ammm, neh. Anime isn't that great because most of the time the animation is poor, the fight scenes are slow and there's waaaay too much talking.

     

    This only applies to shounen crap [see]. Most other animu have half decent animation, little or no fight scenes and talking is dependant on plot. Of course, there are some which break this rule, as with most rules.

     

    Why not watch a REAL animu like Akagi?

     

     

     

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but is 1 anime episode the equivalent to 1 manga chapter?

     

    Depends. Some may be faster and some slower. Plus same animu are developed from games, so its hard to be equivalent.

  11. Thanks CE. I have the requirements to run it, but my graphics card barely passes the requirement. I made the lag slightly better by lowering the resolution I play on (I already had all the graphics options at low). Now I'm trying to figure out whether I need an AGP or PCI-E graphics card. I opened up my tower to look at the slot, but I can't tell which it is.

     

    I forgot to add this before, but its worth increasing your paged pool memory. I had a lot of errors with steam games before I did.

     

    Start Menu > Run > regedit

     

     

     

    Surf down to this key:

     

     

     

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

     

     

     

    Double click on "PagedPoolSize". Hexadecimal is listed first. Change the "Value Data" to one of these below:

     

    (Note: You only need to enter EITHER Hexadecimal or Decimal. They both are the same.)

     

     

     

    Megabytes Hexadecimal Decimal

     

    192Mb 0c000000 201326592

     

    256Mb 10000000 268435456

     

    384Mb 18000000 402653184

     

     

     

    I went with the 384Mb option and it worked perfectly.

     

     

     

    Once you are done, make sure you reboot your computer.

     

    I can understand if you dont want to go tampering in your registry, but it made my computer run a lot smoother overall, not just in-game. [i set mine to 384mb, as demonstrated above.]

  12. My record is stuck at 40 hours with no sleep. Me and a few of my friends though it would be a fantastic idea to try on a weekend. From 10am saturday morning until early morning monday we got no sleep, tea/'energy' drinks and plenty of food were at hand. After 24 hours passed we were feeling pretty drowsy - as you might expect - but nothing hugely wrong. We went out for the day, feeling ourselves losing consciousness with each step we took and got back in the evening to while away into the night with some computer games. Then it hit the fan. From late night sunday to the early monday we could physically see ourselves deteriorating, embodied by our game playing skills. Concentration was out the window, our reactions made sloths look athletic and co-ordination was shot to pieces. FPS turned to who could actually hit rather than who could get the most kills. Fun, but I dont recommend it. You start to see some spots after a while which is pretty cool.

  13. I approve of this thread, ive been trying find a decent single player RPG for a long time. Im sick of finding some sort of RPG-RTS style game, I want something I can physically interact with. What I really want, I suppose, is a sort of offline MMO, like Oblivion, but.. different. The only thing about Oblivion that bugs me is that you need to buy new spells constantly just to improve a little bit of a current spell you already own, like the time scale on invisibility or the 'bound' weapon spells.

     

    I suppose ill just wait for Diablo 3 in the mean time, however.

  14. It has an interesting story.

     

    Only if youve never seen any animu before. KEY pull off better storylines than this, and all they do is recycle a single one from ages ago.

     

     

     

    "Don't let other people tell you anime is good. Anime is bad. Well, except for this one, and this one, and this one..."

     

    Animu is bad. Dont let others tell you otherwise. Its just some are badder than others.

  15. * Teleporters will be upgradeable to level 3. As the teleporter is upgraded, the cooldown will decrease.

     

    * Dispensers will be upgradeable to level 3. They will heal faster and generate metal faster as they are upgraded.

     

    This is awesome. Though I woudlve preferred if TP level 3 had a dual teleporter added on instead.

     

    Though all this will do is encourage more camping as an engineer, as if it werent already easy enough to sit in a corner with a sentry and hammer over and over.

     

     

     

    * Spies will be able to recharge their cloaking ability by picking up ammo off of the ground.

     

    It had better be an incredibly small recharge per ammo, thats just hugely powered up. What the hell.

     

     

     

    * The next class pack will be the Scout. One of the main goals we're focusing on for him has been to provide tools that make him useful in maps like Dustbowl & Goldrush. If you have any ideas for what you think would work well, post them over on the Team Fortress 2 Forum and we'll take a look.

     

    Bonk Bat - +50% damage if you shout BONK as you swing.

     

     

     

    Though the likelihood will be adding a triple jump, added agility or faster caps. Since thats all a scout is ever useful for anyway.

  16. I'm taking a break from the game until I get a new graphics card, as it's just not very much fun to play with the amount of lag I get. I get 10-20 fps usually. It especially feel bad for messing up my team because of the lag, as I know how annoying it is to have someone straggling.

     

     

     

    I'm not extremely good with computers, so I'm just assuming a new graphics card would help the problem. Currently I have a radeon x600, 256mb memory.

     

    Go HERE. Select Left 4 Dead from the drop-down menu and click Can You Run It?

     

    Its a java website that will essentially scan your computer to see if you can run a game and then give you a table with what passes and what doesnt compared to the games minimum/recommended requirements. I use it all the time before getting a game.

     

    You can also try lowering the graphic intensity of the game, I tend to always set mine to one level lower than what they recommend [i.e. if they set it to high I manually set it to medium]. I find it helps, anyway.
