    Valve has added in a new rating for reviews.
     
    Waiting for the "useless" rating.

    Most medieval protagonists would be like "What black magic is this?" and would probably just try to burn or otherwise destroy the computer.
     
    And I'm pretty sure Clementine would just be pissed that people made a game out of her friends constantly dying and would refuse to play it.

    Is that the build where you farm all the jungle camps at once? I want to try it just to see how lulzy it can get, but there's so much room for error.

    I would use it to advertise things of mine.
     
    So I assume it would not be for the best.

    Hey uh... You might want to not watch Yuri Kuma Arashi. Honestly, I don't know if it is actually good or not, but considering the fact that it is straight up Shoujo Ai (Girl love) it will probably be pretty jarring for someone who isn't used to something like that. I don't want to dismiss it entirely, because it is directed and composed by a guy called "Kunihiko Ikuhara" and he has done a couple of things that have been critically acclaimed. Basically what I am trying to get at, is that the director of the show is a dude who has done really good stuff in the past, but the themes of Yuri Kuma Arashi make me question whether or not it will be a good watch... Unless girls kissing girls is your favourite.
     
    If you want to watch something by Kunihiko, watch Revolutionary Girl Utena or Mawaru Penguindrum. Now admittedly I haven't actually seen Penguindrum myself but 2/3 people whose anime opinions I trust have given it a 10/10 and the last person hasn't seen it. I also wrote a long-ass blog on Utena in this thread somewhere, I loved that anime. Utena is a bit old though and does have some issues, so if you're more into the newer stuff, try Penguindrum. I should also probably mention that both Utena and Penguindrum are Shoujo anime and both touch on homosexuality, but they're not straight up Shoujo Ai like Yuri Kuma Arashi.
     
    Please bear in mind though, that Kunihiko's stuff is usually packed to the fucking brim with symbolism and usually requires you to keep your head straight while watching, otherwise you will most likely miss important details. It also has a tendency to get a bit strange at times.

    Nothing Hitler about that. I know plenty of people who don't think much of Cowboy Bebop. The funny thing is, Cowboy Bebop is not considered a particularly stand-out anime in Japan. In fact, it is only really popular in the west, which means it completely missed its intended audience. I'll bet you that if you went up to Japanese anime fans and asked them what they thought about Cowboy Bebop, a good percentile of them would probably not even know what it is.
     
    The reason it is popular in the west is most likely because it was aired in a manageable timeslot on TV, had a good dub and wasn't as "Japanese" as many anime are. Cowboy Bebop has many western influences and for that reason it becomes a lot easier for people in the west to watch and enjoy it. Hell, Shinichiro himself is basically a massive Westaboo and spent time of his life travelling the US. That is also why it is considered a good "gate-way" anime (A good anime to begin with if you want to get into the medium) for westerners.
     
    Personally, I just enjoy the all-encompassing feeling the show has. It manages to touch on a lot of themes and morals in a short time and to me, that made the episodic nature of it really interesting. Quite a few references to western media in there too, which is neat. Not to mention that Spike Spiegel has the cool-factor. The soundtrack is also excellent and I personally got pretty emotionally invested in the characters of the show, which made the ending even more powerful to me. I am pretty biased though, as Cowboy Bebop was the anime I decided to tabula rasa my entire perception of anime with and give it an honest try without just immediately dismissing it as stupid crap. It really impressed me at the time.
     
    I will say though, that I think that saying "nothing ever really happens in it" is a bit of an understatement. It's very episodic, but not without a story and progression.

    So I've finally gotten around to playing Dragon Age: Origins, and I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but damn it Morrigan, NOTHING PLEASES YOU.
     
    Me: You look nice today.
    Morrigan: Fuck you.
    (Morrigan disapproves -50)

    I'm thinking of running a trilane involving Necrophos, Omniknight and Silencer.
     
    I'm also thinking of punching babies and burning down that ice cream place you really like.
