You know what is funny about that pic, is not only do the two pairs look similar, but they have the same English voice actors  

Back on topic though, nice to have you back Iffy, sorry to hear about the stuff you're going through

It really doesn't help that Bob Marx was cast as Kotaro.

... where Bob Marx was also Jinnai's English VA, yes.  See linked AVI if your system is properly equipped.

Hibiki Ryoga is the ultimate paradox. On one hand, he doesn't give a crap. On the other hand, Ryoga is very careful and precise.

Seriously, Ranma 1/2 is like the funniest thing ever. That's the series that got me into anime. ^_^

lol, I always thought that was funny as hell that Nanbara was played by the same voice as Jinnai. when I first heard him I was all, "oh my god, a parrallel jinnai...that's awesome!!!" but I do like his japanese voice too especially when he's singing the virus song. lol. that guy is just messed up. hehehe. yeah, things are looking okay so far, I'm hooked on evercrack 2, oh god, I just stayed on the game for about six to seven solid hours. I'm screwed up. I hate though how you have to basically stay in your house to sell crap. I think its dumb because 1.) I'd rather be out killing things than sitting on my butt gaining no experience  2.) no one is really doing any selling til later at night before they go to sleep and what good does that accomplish?  *sighs* I just think its retarded. I also think its retarded that once something goes grey and you need an item for a quest that comes out of a chest, you won't get the item anymore. so I had to cap my experience from battles and try to basically grab every gnoll in sight. ugh...ah well, I'm feeling pretty good that I can take on two or three gnolls at one time with my druid by herself. heh. all thanks to my regrowth spell. anyways, I gotta get to sleep, night all

*points Ifurita towards World of Warcraft which doesn't have the problems she mentions and is a much, much, much, much, very much better game*

But that's just my opinion that EQ and EQ2 sucks

But great to hear you're doing better!

[xxdemongodifuritaxx]

do you not like eq or eq 2  because of the actual game or the company behind the game?

[smkviper]

Both. EQ is alright I suppose, but so many other MMO games have come out since then that do it so much better then EQ did (IMO).

And I really don't like some of the EQ2 design decisions (i.e. group debt, the idea and implementation of a "group mob"). Plus, from what I've seen and played, it's still more of the boring grind game, with pretty (sort of) and system hogging graphics.

Personally, if we just want to talk graphics for a second, the EQ team needs to fire their graphics programmers since their engine is way too system hungry for the quality it puts out. (I remember a certain EQ expansion that upgraded the player graphics models, but required an insane amount of RAM if you wanted to actually see all the new models. That's just bad coding)

If I had to pick one reason why WoW is better then every other MMO game I've played (and I've played quite a few and been on the programming team for one - that one didn't have a level grind btw ), it's because there is no level grind. Or at least, the level grind is hidden so well under the thousands of quests you can take that it isn't noticable.

[xxdemongodifuritaxx]

I suppose, but unfortunately I have not very much choice in the matter because I can't afford to buy my own account in anything right now and Jimi is offering it to me for free to share a character slot on his account so I guess all I have to say is free play is better than no play. =)

[smkviper]

free play is better than no play

Definately! Have fun with EQ2 then

Well, things are looking somewhat up for me in job market. place called me yesterday to set up interview for this morning. I went in and was kinda curious what the job was for since I have in the last month sent off my resume to so many ads it isn't funny. well, the company is Habitat For Humanity and they need a cashier/floor person and got my resume so they wanted to talk to me. may not be the best job in the world but honestly right now I'll take what I can get. they want to talk to me again since the guy who wanted to interview me had an emergency today. I like the company though. They help low income families build homes and sell them supplies. I think that is a very good cause and I would be happy to help in any way I can. *smiles warmly*  call me a sucker for having a big heart but I have always been that way so nyah. heh. hope you all are doing well. I've been also playing my vid games and trying to keep warm during this month. its chilly out and in but at least I have heat.

Morris can confirm that railroaders have a warped sense of humor.  It's a coping mechanism.  

Phone's ringing...gotta trouble call to get to.  Damn!  Just as I was all hepped up to enjoy my latest manga haul.  Trigun Maximum #3, Banner of the Stars II (I want Ono back as the illustrator!) and Battle Angel Alita Last Order #4.  At least the tankoubons travel well.     I'll have time to read them trackside while I'm waiting for the train dispatcher to issue me authority to work on the signal system to fix the damn problem I'm being called out to work on!  

And that's why we need the coping mechanism.

Nappy Yew Hear one and all.
