    Subtitles or dubbing?

    It all stems from how I got into anime in the first place. I started back in the early 90s. Most of my collection is raw Japanese straight from TV or what was fan subbed. That’s all there was. When the American Anime industry was first starting they began to do subs and then dubs of things I’d...

    Subtitles or dubbing?

    Being an anime fan and an old-school one to boot; suffice it to say I prefer subtitles. I haven't found an official release anime dub I can watch that I dont want to dig my ear-drums out with a dull rusty spork.... But thats just me *grins*

    Songs that could be about RPGs, but aren't

    Ah man! you beat me too it! Yeah, Manowar is a good one. My friend based an entire campaign off of "Defender" by Manowar. It was his longest running campaign and probably his best. I just wish I could have been there for all of it. stupid work...

    What changes were made from 3E to 3.5 ?

    The biggest changes for me with 3.0 to 3.5 were: Darkness Spell became “shadowy illumination” instead of darkness. In 3e, the Darkness spell was a 50% miss chance (?) and then in 3.5 it became 20%. So basically in complete natural darkness (still a 50% miss chance) you could cast the Darkness...

    Justice League of America - 2010!

    Actually a GL movie is already in the works at least in a developmental stage. IMDB is listing a 2010 release date. The Wonder Woman movie is supposedly been put on hold until after the JLA movie to help boost JLA. I thought Wonder Woman had even started filming too. I'm not positive on any of...

    Justice League of America - 2010!

    IF done right I think it could be very cool. If not however... Honestly, I'd rather just have the animated series back. I never really liked DC comics until the Batman animated, Superman and the Justice League/Unlimited shows. Now all we have is The Batman (which isnt too bad) and Legion of...

    D&D 3.x Will 4e last longer than 3e?

    I see 5e being announced in 3-4 years and released in 5 years. 5e will be mostly (if not all) Collectable as its core mechanic and OGL and d20 Licenses will no longer exist. But then, I'm a pessimist.

    Avatar Tonight!!!!

    I actually have no idea. This past Friday was 310 by itself this time and this coming Friday may be 311. I dont think Anyone has posted an air date for 312 yet. I do remember that at the beginning of a lot of the early season 3 episodes the announcer stated "10 weeks of all new Avatar"; so it...

    Best Dremel Tool

    Wish that I could but I'm down with pneumonia again... I would highly suggest taking The UNiverse out and let him take a look at them to see which one he is going to like. A tool like this isnt something you want to buy and surprise them with. He's going to be using it as much as possible so...

    Best Dremel Tool

    ah... you could have just asked me.... But then I would have to come to a game for that wouldnt I... *grins* The Mini is pretty good and pogre has given great advice. I got last year for Christmas the Dremel Stylus. It is cordless, rechargable and has a pistol grip. I've owned quite a few...

    Avatar Tonight!!!!

    It just shows just how powerful Azula really is, she doesnt just rely on her firebending, her martial prowess is quite impressive too. Hers was a delaying acton though, she was only there to run down the clock. Had the Dai Lee agents not been there she would have been nothing but a speedbump to...

    Avatar Tonight!!!!

    This was labled as Episode 10: The Day of Black Sun. Technically it is 2 episodes (310 and 311), but is actually broken into 2 parts: The Invasion: The Day of Black Sun part 1 The Eclipse: The Day of Black Sun part 2 Some countries played it as two seperate episodes but here in the States it...

    Need some classic (old) sci-fi/fantasy recommendations

    I will definitely echo others for Burroughs. I would recommend his Carson of Venus series. I liked it above the Carter of Mars books actually. All of (except Tarzan IMHO) are very good. While not Sci-Fi but fantasy, one of my favorite series is rather hard to find most often is these books by...

    On The Horrible Naming

    What scares me here is the "might"... *grins* I am getting the feeling these names are an attempt to layer fluff into the crunch to make it harder to work the core rules for settings other than the WOTC produced settings. I hope its not true and I think its a bad idea but it does make it so...
