Hey, glad you got something out of it even if you probably haven't seen Serial Experiments Lain. That website is one of the coolest things on the internet. Also, the Lethal League OST is so fucking good. It's like Jet Set Radio 2.0

why is juggernaut currently the most broken hero in existance? skill build: Level 1: Spin Level 2: Crit Level 3: Healing Ward Level 4: Crit Level 5: Crit Level 6: Omnislash Level 7: Crit Level 8: Stats Now continue on to max stats and then fill out healing ward and spin only in the last levels Item build Lane appropriate starting items Power treads Mask of Madness Maelstrom Whatever the fuck you want because you can now murder any hero in the game in seconds by right-clicking them 2000 times per second and critting for 35% of those. Thanks Icefrog. It sounds clowny as fuck but it is genuinely overpowered if you're not braindead.

Hype

Based.

Axe is strong as hell. Definitely a hero to play if you want to win.

Time for everyone's favourite: Guess that Hero! Answer:

I wish I could say that the past decade hasn't changed my point of view regarding Islam and radicalized muslims. What I am about to say is of course common sense and shouldn't really need to be said honestly, but I'm gonna go ahead and cover my back. Of course the vast majority of muslims are normal people in every sense of the word. That being said, my patience for these kind of things is waning slowly but surely. Month after month after month the West is hit by news of Muslim extremists commiting atrocities in the Middle East, Asia and even in the West. We're at a point now that whenever I read the "terror attack" headline, I just assume that it is muslim extremists. So what's up? Why is this a continuing theme? There are many answers to those questions and I'm sure it can all be rationalized. Western influence in the Middle East, volatile political situations in muslim countries, civil war uprisings and military remnants of deep-rooted proxy wars. But with the amount of times these rationalizations are uttered, it starts feeling like an excuse we're making up in order to avoid sounding like bigots. One part of me wants to keep repeating it: "It's a minority, the majority of Muslims are peaceful" and that is the truth. Another part of me is sick and tired of this shit. It's not satisfying anymore. It doesn't solve any problems.

Just so we're clear, that status update I made a few days ago about starting a blog was supposed to be a snide remark and not an actual consideration from my end. All bullshit and witty comments aside, this community isn't big enough to warrant blogs. It's nice being able to participate in small thread-centered discussion, but I have this lingering feeling that no one is going to be fucked to read any blogs by users of this site. That's my opinion anyway. What would people blog about? Their daily lives? They do that anyway with Status Updates/TIAM thread. Video games? Movies? TV-series? Anime? Basically any topic I can think of is already covered in a thread, most of which are barely even active anyway. The only thing that could warrant a blog is site updates by the admin, just for the sake of centralizing information or if a user was someone of importance or had interesting experiences to share. Now don't get me wrong boys, you're all important to me (XOXOXO) but I ain't gonna sit on my ass and read a blog about your day, just like you're not gonna sit on YOUR ass and read a blog about MY day. I mean remember when we had that thread about a subSPUF Mumble server? Remember how many people chimed in on how it would be a good idea? Remember how many people actually used it? Now you've got a bunch of people vouching for a blogging system and I can't help but wonder how many would actually even use it past the first week. I hate to sound like a cunt guys, but those are my thoughts.

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.

I don't know how many of you guys play or have played the Civilization games, but if you have, were you aware that the title screen music for Civilization IV is the only video game song to ever win a grammy? This tune has been stuck in my head since the first day I launched CiV4, it's super catchy, but I didn't realize that it had actually won awards.

Friendly reminder that this is the best scenario theme

If we're talking anime that aired in 2014, then I don't really have one. Don't watch current season stuff and the things I do end up wanting to watch from current seasons just gets added to the backlog. If we're talking just anime that I've watched in 2014 (but didn't necessarily air in 2014), then it's a tough one. Out of the 188 anime I've seen, I've rated 12 of those a 10/10. I saw four of those 10/10s this year: Gankutsuou, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Hajime no Ippo and Ping Pong the Animation. I think I'd have to say Legend of the Galactic Heroes with Ippo following close by. Also this list is pretty good. http://imgur.com/a/k2vwE?gallery

Is that from the OVA where Kagami turns into Miku? Its been years since I last watched it. It is.

Amagi Brilliant Park is fucking atrocious, please don't watch it unless you're looking for a prime example of how Otaku culture is suffocating creativity in the anime medium. Unrelated
