    random superpower thread.

    I got Magic Embodiment. That's lucky if I'm in a world where magic exists. Not so much here. http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Embodiment

    Thinking about it, what is the stupidest fictional thing ever?

    What are these from? I don't remember either of those, but the second one sounds familiar.

    89 percent of US parents believe game violence a problem

    You sir are awesome. OT: The study just reports that people think that violence in video games might cause violence to be a problem in real life. As the above poster stated, it only shows what peoples' ignorance has allowed them to believe. If they knew more about the science behind studies...

    Anime. Opinion and recommendations.

    Gurren Lagann, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Darker Than Black are all pretty good (Darker Than Black actually sounds like it might be up your alley and if you enjoyed Code Geass, you will likely enjoy Death Note, if only for the intellectual battles). Toradora is also very...

    You have the power to cut off one state from the U.S.

    I think that Texas is where Roosterteeth, Screwattack, and Funimation are based, so I would keep Texas. I would probably get rid of Mississippi, or Alabama, or something.

    Can you defend yourself?

    This guy gets it. Survival=Victory. One of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard in regards to fighting is to get an MMA rulebook, and look up what's prohibited. You almost never know the training and strength of your opponent beforehand in a real fight, so run if possible. If cornered...

    Can you defend yourself?

    I'm going to be testing for my brown belt in Judo soon. So I think I can defend myself reasonably well. 5 on 1 though I would run if at all possible. I should note that I approach real fights with a completely different mentality than I approach Judo matches. In a real fight, the goal is to...

    What's your current desktop background?

    I change mine every once in a while. It is currently this.

    A fight scene synchronized to the music. Any good example?

    I would recommend Dead Fantasy by Monty Oum. He's stated that he listens to the songs he uses first and then synchronizes the fight scenes to work with the music.

    So IGN decided to ask "why do people hate EA"

    No I don't. I didn't know Apple was a contender, and I didn't know their business practices were that bad. That is way worse. You are probably right in thinking that people didn't know that when they voted. To be honest, I didn't even know there was a "Worst Company in America" contest until...

    Recommend me a slice-of-life anime

    I can't tell if you're joking, serious, or trolling. The internet can sometimes be terrible at conveying sarcasm and humor. If serious, I just wonder how you know this person doesn't have a job, or still lives with his parents. Maybe he's on break from college and is wondering what to do with...

    So IGN decided to ask "why do people hate EA"

    I think Dexter111 has already answered why EA beat out the companies that crashed the economy and polluted the planet for the award this year. If you click on the link in his quote, he explains that all those companies have already won the award, and he even sources his info. Kudos. Basically...

    Recommend me a slice-of-life anime

    I'd recommend Spice and Wolf, but you've already seen it. And like me you love it. (Any word on Season 3?) So I'll just post this image and say look in the Slice of Life category (second from the right). Sorry if the text is too small to read, just copy/paste it on your computer and zoom...

    Battle to the Death! How Will You Fight?

    I would go with hand-to-hand. I'm 22 years old, thin, light, healthy, and fairly athletic. I have used guns only a few times in my life, and never with moving targets. As for why I wouldn't choose melee, I don't get to choose the weapon, and I've had some martial arts training, which gives me a...

    Cartoons: Then and now.

    I don't know how far into the Earth City arc you got, but definitely keep watching. It does pick up after that. The slowdown in pacing you are experiencing (you mentioned dragging) is just the calm before the storm, and helps the pacing of the show as a whole. It's a little like that scene in V...
