Definitely have to agree on Gankutsuou and Monster. I'd also suggest Ayakashi (especially the last episode, Bakeneko) and the movie Perfect Blue. Now that movie was a mindscrewer. Apparently, Kon wanted to do it live action, then realized he couldn't do everything he wanted with it that way, so...

I don't know; this episode was just too silly for me, and it had way too much in common, plot-wise, with the first episode: alien ship malfunctions, lands on earth to disguise itself, capturing humans to harvest what they need, one of the 'good guys' hitting on Clara despite already having a...

My god, Hatoful has actually made it to the big leagues. And yes, I love this game. A friend and I played it together years ago, and it is a crackalicious delight.

Part of why a lot of people (including myself) didn't like Clara was because she was written with absolutely zero personality (and "perky" alone does not a personality make) and told over and over that she was amazing, but her actually BEING amazing (other than maybe her very first appearance)...

Didn't stop it from happening in the book.

This movie is currently sitting pretty at 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, y'all. And it's getting a sequel. This is why TV is now where the quality viewing is.

Trying to do something like that would be a good way to get her labeled crazy or accused of witchcraft.

The entire theme of this season seems to be "the zombie apocalypse has driven everyone insane." Some people are more sane than others, but all of them are a little bit crazy.

Well, by that standard, adrenaline rushes have nothing to do with aggression. Or anger, because hey, "heat of the moment" doesn't last THAT long. Only, y'know, that's not really how it works. Even those short-term bursts matter, because they say something overall about tendencies.

I don't really think they did; it seemed like they were more noting that was what the gender breakdown ended up being. I'm sure there's more info in the actual paper, which the article said would be published soon.

Well, the "media outlet" in this case is the press office of the university where the research was done, so I daresay the numbers would be pretty accurate.

I'm curious as to how you say it's not telling us anything about increased aggression, since it says players who had a black avatar gave 115% more hot sauce than those who played with a white avatar. Yes, even though aggression goes down after a rush, why would there be MORE of a rush from black...

They did two studies, and used mostly men for one study (60%), and mostly female for the second (65%). I don't see why that would be something to be 'confused' about. It may just have been a matter of what students were available the days they did the different tests.

I read about this study and wondered what some of y'all thought of it. Playing As Black: Avatar Race Affects White Video Game Players [http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/raceavatar.htm] The gist of the results of the study is that white players become more aggressive and have stronger...

I don't mind the changes, honestly. I played it in Japanese when it first came out, and those two costumes in particular annoyed me, especially the vampire costume. You can't tell since it's only showing you the female costumes, but the male vampire costume looks like a 19th century gentleman...
