Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Sharpandpointies]

Best line in silly new Manwha I'm reading (It's great so far, hilarious).

*foppish looking lazy super-handsome prince bursts into his brother's room* (his brother being the king)

[King] Don't you know how to knock?

[Fop] Of course I do. I know how to knock your knights out when they get in my way.

[Me] Ooo, hidden depths, this guy just got interesting.

Although my favourite comment about the difference between English and American was from a New Zealander.

He said one of the best things about being from New Zealand is that they can choose whether they want to use an English word or the American equivalent. But it’s also the worst thing, because they don’t do it responsibly.

Britain has ‘Chips’ and ‘Crisps’.
For the same foodstuffs, America has ‘Fries’ and ‘Chips’.

New Zealand has ‘Chips’ and ‘Chips’.

You’re just supposed to guess which potato-based product you’re referring to.

[Postmania]

Yeah, there is SO much in the video games. Which I haven't actually played much.

It's frustrating. So completely understanding why there's this constant scramble in the fanbase to figure out what's going on.

Ah, the MCU phenomenon.

Let’s not confuse Quebecois for French. Same way Mexican is not Spanish, and American is not English.

They’re very, very different beasts.

Heh, I think I watched this video on that a while ago. Language is a fascinating thing, sometimes.

I think my favorite thing about the Anima video games is that there is one EXCLUSIVELY for the Wii

The WII.

Why?!

Trick question. It's vodka.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

Totally understood.

I'm not going to go praising or bashing Québec here, but if you'd like my opinion, feel free to PM. ^_^

It's landlocked so it's evil, obviously.

You know I do be enjoying some DMs. I'm just bad at responding timely after awhile ��

Yeah, I've heard that one before. 'Because they don't do it responsibly' is the most hilarious comment I've heard applied to it. ^_^

Ah, the MCU phenomenon.

Somewhat, yeah. Worse, a lot of the lore is STILL IN CARLOS' HEAD, and prying it out is...difficult.

Heh, I think I watched this video on that a while ago. Language is a fascinating thing, sometimes.

We had a Parisian-French PhD student for a while, who had very little English. I had a much harder time talking to her in French than I do talking to Quebecois.

Well, in fairness it was kind of a crappy game, that one. ^_^ Sidescroller, right?

I don't mind that last part. ^_^

Yes but still, the Wii was an amusing choice. Almost as if the devs were shaming me for sitting down a lot.

Hah.

I've seen it played; it stars one of my least-favourite named-characters and it's limited to an area of Gaia that's covered in Gaia II. Somewhat. I'm not really hurting to find a way to get it. ^_^

Ha, I'm guessing you have to context that somehow? That reminds me now of this highly versatile catch-all phrase from Hawaiian.

Hajime No Ippo: This south paw training Ippo's doing will just make him that much stronger and co-ordinated in his extended downtime. And people are going to point it out a lot I bet.

The Four Knights of the Apocalypse: It is time for the big fights of the arc.
- Percy takes on Mortlach in a forced 1v1 duel with no powers. Will be a good opportunity for Percy to just use his own skill for a change.
- Lancelot is fighting the Nanashi away from the rest. This is probably the strongest match-up here and I'm interested to see if we'll learn more about the weirdly eastern swordsman during this fight.
- Tristan leads the rest of the team against the remain knights and a demonic fusion born from chaos (just like in the recent OVA). That's a neat little callback. Really looking forward to how this one will turn out.

Jujutsu Kaisen: spoilers:

Well, this is an interesting turn of events. Gojo completely outwits Sukuna by using Mahoraga's adaptive ability against itself while also outmaneuvering Sukuna with enchanted forms of Red and Blue, and taking advantage of the residual Blue that was left from Gojo destroying Agito, which Sukuna completely failed to notice in order fire a point-blank Purple in Sukuna's face. It's pretty damn satisfying to see Sukuna gradually panicking throughout this chapter, leading him to make mistakes that led to massive damage to himself and losing his biggest trump card (Mahoraga) in the process.
