PC is better, but the PS 2 Port isn't bad, although it is a lot easier.

Re: Best ever Levels

what are your top all time faveourite five video game levels and why? 4. Max payne - The drug trip level, deserves true credit for introducing a level just to show the fall into despair of the main character and then reintroducing the same level in a drug overdose AND not seeming stupid. I complete...

Anyone know where I can get a copy with Japanese audio and english subs? Besides from the net? Or do they only sell the english dub in the U.S? I have to agree with snatcher here. I hate it when some translator goes and alters the meaning and content of the dialogue so that it comes out as what they...

Is Innocence worth watching?

I can't make up my mind as to whether to watch Ghost in the Shell Innocence. I leery of what the Gits universe will be like without the major playing a leading role, and I hear it sacrifices the plot and characters for the sake of vague philisophical messages and wanders off topic. On the other hand...

I've watched both the english dubs on Adult Swim and the subtitled Japanese versions. The Japanese requires a lot of fast reading, but it still beats the hell out of watching episodes with altered dialogue and (to my ears at least) awkward delivery. It may be better than any ohter english dub I've s...

It's... No... What's the point? While being a theology student, I had wanted to denounce almost every philosopher I came across. Now, I still want to denounce almost every writer I come across. Everyone is only a small person, these are only small ideas. Or so it seems these days. Why be right? Why...

But hey, we're past caring about hurting people anymore because all that matters is free speech and entertainment, right? Which is probably okay because most Christians can probably take it, but I do think the free speech-ers are a little bit dumb sometimes the way they like to rattle the bars of t...

I always thought of the "war on terror" being a conflict between religion and the norms, values, and institutions of modernity. A war between the freedom, equality, and tolerance of modern day democracies and ancient pre-scientific, pre enlightenment religious dogmas.

I simply cannot picture section 9 or Ghost in the Shell without the major. I can only hope she plays a big role in this one because it just isn't the same without her. Togusa in charge? I figure they'd have to make him a very different person. It'd be interesting to see how he turns out as a result ...

My name is actually Chinese. It sound bizarre for a Chinese name though. Where did "Tonks Kittygoth" come from? (I wonder if you're a goth, for some reason)

No, I mean it's my actual name. I wasn't asking about ethnic origin.

I was drunk while watching it, so the episode is pretty much a blur, but a good blur. I have to try this sometime. Is it better when you're drunk? :) The apple being symbolic of the fruit of the tree of knowledge in that the fact that a bite was taken symbolizes Kuze entering the net and the next f...

I think the Americans taking him in is a refference to all of the Nazi scientists etc that we brought to work for us after WWII. Yey us... sigh.... Like who? Where did you learn this? Were these guys involved in atrocities like those "medical experiments" Mengele committed in Death camps?
