It wasn't scripted. It depends on what you call scripted. Well, I meant that you had prepared a scenario for each session/episode. I didn't mean that everything was already decided from the start. That's just what it looks like after the fact! :wink: So I take it there were a lot more freedom than ...

It's a game because they played it as a (scripted) game, and then Slipstream wrote down what happened. But yeah, they do read like episode scripts. And bravo indeed. I could never have pulled anything like this off myself, because I love freedom too much, and there didn't seem to be a lot of that in...

I watched it and enjoyed it, but I don't think I can make a 'decent' conversation about it. I thought Haruhi was cute, and it was cute how she obviously had a crush on Kyon without daring to admit it to either herself or anyone else. I also thought that the last episode was really the last episode a...

Has anyone seen any of the episodes of Blood+ and how are they? The animation looks good, but I wouldn't buy DVDs just to watch the series. I just don't think the story is that good, and neither is the action or the world they're showing. On the other hand I'm a jaded cheapskate with too many webco...

... it is safe to say then that by submitting a child to severe sexual and/or physical abuse by someone they trust that one can hope to see multiple personalities develop." That sounds very promising . I wonder how often scientists do that to children just to see how many multiple personalitie...

Oh well. I'll just remain sceptical then. I guess I just don't see much difference between being active and being in control, as being 'active' suggests having 'physical' control of the brain. But perhaps such multitasking is possible for such people? All I know is that I can't focus 100% on both re...

I was always kind of against Slipstream's posting of his games on the site, but Jeff said it was ok. Which means ask Jeff. I personally think this kind of thing belongs on your own webpage, but ask him and who knows? I don't see why you'd be against anyone posting GitS-related stuff in these forums...

So the main villain has his stronghold on a radioactive tropical island then? Cool. 8) Not that I really know how a brain works, but it would seem to me as if different personalities wouldn't be able to work independently at the same time. I think that one would be active while the others are passiv...

Yeah, that was a nice twist. I didn't see it coming either, at least not before the painting coupled with the fact that the doctor had patients with psychological/psychiatrical problems. But even then I could of course not guess that Manji would be one of more personalities, though I may have forgot...

Cyberpunk webcomic: Fabricari

Have a look at this: http://www.fabricari.com/images/banners/fabricari/cyberpunk-728-90.jpg Much like the banner says it features violent cyborgs, and at least one nefarious mechanic, or 'fabricari' as they seem to be called. He's the one who builds and repairs the violent cyborgs and sexy robots. T...

Also, I keep wondering why they have the Major dress up 'sexily' as I just can't get her character design as attractive. I loved the Manga Kusanaga but her anime appearences are just awful to my eyes. Well, she certainly didn't look very sexy in that puffed up jacket/coat. But other than that I don...

Meh, I didn't care. Didn't twist the plot for me, I treated it as extra information. Wonderful new technology and all that. Be amazed, behold the future of the future! 8)

Ah, that explains it. I wasn't a kid in the 1990s, so by then I had quit reading those comics. Mostly because I had already read all the albums that could be found in the local library, and once I quit going to the library for reading materials, I quit checking for new comics as well. And as it turn...

Since you mentioned The Matrix , I'll mention Luc Besson's The Fifth Element . The Jean-Paul Gaultier costumes had a comic-influenced sensibility (a French sensibility, of course), and the film featured design work by comic artists Mézières and Moebius. The movie isn't an adaptation of a particular...

Or from Superman III, which is the movie that the characters in Office Space stole it from. Credit where credit is due. :wink:
