    Recommend me some Manga

    Shakugan no Shana... Speed Grapher is actually pretty good in Manga form too. I'll also 2nd (or whatever the count's up to) Gantz and Death Note What about the sublime Detroit Metal City too? (nerdy guy who dreams of being trendy, actually is employed as Krauser, lead singer in a costumed...

    depression and feeling depressed

    I'll put money on the fact that showing up to a venue before any of your friends makes you uncomfortable too? Have you read up on Social Anxiety? It's worth trying to get a book or google for it (I recommend Overcoming Social Anxiety - it's helped me) There are some coping mechanisms you...

    depression and feeling depressed

    Yep, been depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts, self harm, and being off work for a fair few months. Everything seemed to fall apart for a while. Since last year, I've got the right meds, and I'm slowly on the mend. Dunno if people want help but they can message me if they want to...

    Game/anime movies you DO NOT want to see.

    Tetris - the movie. ;) In all seriousness though, I wouldn't like to see a live action Fullmetal Alchemist movie. It just wouldn't work. Similarly, I'm kind of glad the Evangelion movie project has reportedly ran out of money. I also don't think Fallout 3 would make a good movie - even though...

    If you could own ONE pokemon

    Ditto. I collect him for a reason. :D Second would be Drifloon. Ghost flying type = good pranks, and cheap transport.

    Your guilty TV pleasures (yes the embarrasing ones)

    Possibly Pokemon... I'm 26 and still watch it. But then again, I'm also involved with this: http://www.amitysquare.co.uk so it kind of explains it a little, right? The Big Bang Theory is a recent guilty pleasure. It's far too close to my real experiences with friends at Uni and so forth, and...

    Poll: Opinions about progress bar

    I tend to think the progress bar is now less important than the Trophies/Achievements. I've found myself with a few games not caring that I've not done everything so long as I've got the lion's share of the gamerpoints. I think it's also because there is a glut of quality gaming at the moment...

    Why not own the console you WANT!

    I own all three. I tend to use the PS3 more for Blu Ray and the odd exclusive (Heavy Rain, Katamari Forever) and to be honest I don't touch the Wii as much as I used to. I'll still keep it for the odd game that interests me, but it doesn't have the same pull it once did. There's definitely too...

    Why does it make me feel depressed? No clue.

    Also (sorry if it's OT), to add another film like that - Grave of the Fireflies. It still sends shivers down my spine just remembering it. It's funny that films (and games) don't have to be live action to gain strong emotional attachment.

    I work, you jerk.

    I used to work in a stockroom, hauling around big CRTs, Fridges, Freezers, Cookers, Hobs etc. I used to think it sucked at the time, but we had a decent amount of fun, messing on with trollies having races, smashing up old broken stock, etc. (Kinda like the bit in the 40 year old virgin where...

    Any photographers out there?

    It's also worth looking on flickr for groups covering the area you're interested in - for example I was into TiltShift, and some of the groups there had great links for both Tiltshift, and how to fake it if you can't afford the lenses ;)

    Where's my Sam and Max?

    At least you're getting it on Steam sometime today... European PSN users have to wait an extra week! :(

    What's the best deal you've gotten at retail

    Back when I worked at Currys in the UK, they were thinking of throwing out a load of Zelda history promo disks (that were meant to go with sold gamecubes) containing the old games on a gamecube disk. I grabbed them all for £10 and made about £250-300 on eBay. :)

    These Are the Actual Pokemon Black & White Starters

    The problem is the water type shares the same form factor and colour palette of Piplup. Once you see that, you can't easily unsee it. The green dude definitely deserves a fedora and cane though...

    Why does it make me feel depressed? No clue.

    The end of Mass Effect 2 had me feeling down. I'd grown to like the characters and the interactions and the very colourful universe that Bioware had created, but I knew that it was over, until the sequel comes out. My fiancee is like it too - she won't complete a Zelda game until she knows...
