I got into the whole book series because of the tv show from a while back. Really up my ally, the storylines are interesting and there's enough snarky smart-alecy and sarcastic humour in it that well heck I identify with Harry...

Mother killed baby for interrupting FarmVille. How insane is this news... Guys why are we so influenced with all this non-sense games... We dont even care about our family when we are involved playing it? THIS IS JUST...

Arkadus Nah, I was just pointing out that scenarios like that are pretty far fetched. As far as 'video games kill' goes. Most deaths that can be "blamed" on video games are ones like this. Things like the "Halo killer" are just crazy people who happened to own a copy...

I'm currently saving up to buy myself a Playstation 3. Currently one of those slim 120gig units, I was because it's all I can get hold of. For the first while my only option was a 250, but they sold that and stocked only 120's. I...

Arkadus I haven't minded what little online I've done so far. Really I only played a few rounds of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Which is a decent enough game I suppose. I'm a little more into Fallout 3 and Valkyria Chronicles though. But my brother has a copy of it...

Hell All,well many of us are vegetarian and many of us just eat every thing they find :) but my question is that Does Vegetarian Life make you much Healthier or not? because as we see there are more vitamins in fresh fruits and...

Arkadus True, but there's plenty of food from other cultures both conducive and non-conduive to vegetarianism.

We've all put things in strange places, like the car keys in the fridge or the sugar in the bathroom. I really did it last night. I came home tired and sore from my doctor's visit for the nerve block in my neck, plus I did my...

Arkadus Most of mine involve my head. But I'm tall and this country is built for people a foot shorter than me. I don't know how my brother deals with it since he's taller than me. .

I must admit, I think the Nintendo Wii revolutionised the game console industry. I love the games because it is so much more active and involves a lot more than just pressing buttons very quickly. I never really got in the...

Arkadus I don't know about the 360, but a PS3 can play pretty well anything in a .avi and presumably in .mp4 format (as the PSP uses it). It also has a built in blu-ray player so there's those, I've no idea if it'll play a regular dvd though. A PSP needs to have the...

I don't think I've seen a discussion for this on here yet so I decided to make one. Personally, I love all types of comics but I read something on another forum that was really interesting. There was actually people that refused...

Arkadus I don't see why translation notes wouldn't work. They do it often enough in pretty well all of the manga I have. And yeah I know pretty much zero about the culture, but that would change if more of the comics/graphic novels/whatever you want to call them made...

Roughly translated it's Otaku's Daughter. This is probably my current favourite manga in the world. Right next to but just slightly above Hayate no Gotoku. Anyway, it's a slice of life/comedy with the occasional tidbit of drama...

Arkadus Thanks for the comment. Otaku no Musume-san is shorter than Death Note, at least for the moment. We're currently awaiting the scanslation of chapter 22. But since it's currently an ongoing title I'm not sure how far along it's going to get. And honestly,...

I bought myself a Wii a while ago. I notice there's all kinds of platformers and random games and very very few RPG's. There's Dragon Quest Swords, Baroque (which is essentially just a port), Tales of Symphonia 2 and maybe one or...

Arkadus Yeah, DS has some pretty nice games on it. And then later, presuming of course it gets brought over to north america, we get Dragon Quest 9 on the DS as well.

Arkadus DQVIII wasn't on the Wii it was PS2 exclusive . I think you mean DQIX aka Dragon Quest Swords aka Dragon Quest Swords : The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. And yeah, most of the people I know with one have the same complaint. Bet ya more than half of...

Arkadus Well interacting with a bunch of people doesn't constitute an rpg in and of itself (Counterstrike does the same thing (lots of people) and it's not an rpg.) However I've played Runescape and yes, it is an RPG. But if they make a Wii version they need to do one...

Arkadus No I haven't gotten one of those yet. I was thinking about going wasabi, with a wiiclip though. I want to find somewhere in country (Canada) that sells them so I don't have to wait 2-3 weeks for it to clear customs.

Arkadus Sounds good then, I'll check it out, it'll be a nice addition to the arsenal. And if it's easy enough to use I'll put it on the discs I give people who have no idea what they're doing. Which I wouldn't do with say, avg anti rootkit... that's not a newb...

Arkadus How's this Sophos program idiot proof wise? Any other anti-rootkit program I've run into takes way too much of that 'knowing what you're doing' thing for me to recommend it to random people. Way too easy to cripple your machine to the point of needing to...

Arkadus I'm not going to claim either way whether or not they're the 'proper age' because hey, I don't know. What I do know is they obviously have proper legal documents because they got into the games to begin with. Same rules as trying to get into a bar, even if you...

Arkadus That's part of the twofold curse of being an anime fan. The other half is of course, always behind on stuff you're watching as you don't have enough time.
