Ah, okay. Strange then. Wonder why they decided to change? It's only a small matter anyway (er, okay, a small bassett hound-sized matter, lol).

Hey - you're proposing Blade Runner (*sort of*. Possibly)! Better make the robots completely mindless, or else unhappy human-like "Replicants" may be coming back to Earth looking to get revenge for all their unfair treatment... I think Epiphany is right, the "shadier" industries ...

I think scientists.. are watching GitS to predict the future

LOL! Well, in reality it's not hard for anyone to predict cyber technology at this point; what with people implanting chips in their fingers and what not already; however there is something sort of hilarious and surreal to this news article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7248875.stm 2029, eh? ...

I'm forgetting which guide he used, but I know gamefaqs.com has some great ones. Guide? Oh I don't use guides; it ruins the fun of figuring it out yourself (typically). Literally the only things I've used any guides online for in FF games was how to solve one of the temple puzzles I was stuck on an...

Yeah- the stupid Roblon is the only one that's been too hard since the White Mousse (which was easy once we were not all at baby-level anymore). I have no problem filling up my liscence board; I already have 3 quarters of it completed so far and the rest is largely not as useful. I'm actually more w...

Yah, maybe. Gyneth Paltrow? Hm. I think Nicole Kidman would be a good Emeraldas or Maetel myself- she looks like a bit of a Matsumoto heroine to me for some reason. Can't for the life of me imagine a Harlock, though. If you get people who can give off a serious sombre air and work it into an Arcadia...

There you go geek-bashing again VWA HAH HAH!!! Yes! You see, it is because I am *evil* like I said :twisted: . No really it is all just a personal attack on you :arrow: tries to inflict pain on this "saito-geek" :arrow: :wink: essential tool for living in the modern world. Yeah... you may...

Small question: How come everyone calls the dog a "she"? Is it in the novel or something (still need to read it)? At the showing of the film I went to at the cinema, the dog was a "he" in the subtitles of the Japanese version of the film being shown. Am I missing something? I've ...

And if AI develop emotion I hope they hav compassion becuase if they don't than that would suck. You mean the kind of compassion that humans show their "inferior" species, such as the other life on this planet? Let's hope that there aren't as many people willing to put cows unnecessarily ...

Yeah, Lain's not bad- I enjoyed it. A little too slow-paced for me (especially the first disc), but quite unique and moody; with themes that are universal. If you added that Ghost Hound also had the sheer cleverness and tightly-knitted storytelling of Boogiepop, I would be completely sold right away...

Er, "Sylphi Spice"? *dies* :shock: Not so much "girl power", I'm just into spirited human-ness and heroism. And equally loving people of many backgrounds in general. And particularly being into girl heroics because I am female and can identify more with a pretty girl heroine. Tho...
