in the shell

well mythology is a lietmotif in mamoru oshii's films, in particular the changing and re-writing of them - in innocence it is the dangers of the how the puppet/golem/human-making myths shape our cultures and attitudes. So while he may be giving context-free juxtaposition between these mythologies of...

He's a bit of a rebel with no time for the rules of the authoritarian system for which he works and once he's rescued her he is less than enthusiastic about the mortals he is made to serve. - I think he's a pro-satan man.

oh yeah I love those things, had a go on one at a show :) there's a couple commerically available right now, all too expensive a one-trick pony for my pocket though. The best thing about it is everyone ends up pulling hilarious contorted faces when they first try to use it. I really want to play a c...

I was all into the grindie, electrorock, indie and grime, but now I'm going through a serious 8bit nerdcore phase ^_^ hence...

Beefy - Chun-li

I remember not really understanding why Togusa quotes Milton when I first watched it. It's been a while since I've watched Innocence, but I think it was one of my favourite parts of paradise lost "Satan stood and called/His legions, angel forms, who lay entranced/Thick as autumnal leaves that s...

It's from Full metal Panic : The Second Raid.

Yep it's one of those threads.

I'm listening to 'Metric - Siamese cities'

cheesy pop, but i likes it.

We are fans of ghost in the shell, probably what some would call obsessive fanboys/girls. We have in this place dissected most every aspect and implication of the film's content to an extent that was probably never intended by it's creators. We have drawn more meaning from the story than was probabl...

maybe it's more of an issue with videogame adaptions because everyone's experience of the subject matter will be different, maybe that's true of all fiction to some extent but especially so with games because the narrative is in part being directed by the audience.

the front grip doesn't look quite so uncomfortable when the stock is extended.

normally I think it's just the opposite, they try to convert the game to film too directly by just making it a lazy chain of action cliches with very little attention being paid to any character other than the protaganist like DooM, Hitman, Mortal Kombat or Tekken(or any Boll film). If they actually...

lol great idea Sylphi I think I might just do that, I know some people at one of more artsy local flickhouses so I reckon I could convince them to do a double feature. I don't know why people don't screen double-films so much anymore, it's always a bit tiring but I love em'.

Oh hard choice.. I went for Ryu as he's the one I'm best with, but I love playing with Guile and there's just something about playing as stretchy old Dhalsim that is comedy gold.

The position of where it looks like you're meant to put your left hand looks a bit unnatural for a bullpup - but other than that I don't think it's too out there.

I started playing it ages ago, but just haven't had the time to go back and finish it yet. Liked the bit I saw though..
