What Angelow said. There is also the fact that there kind of are hints here and there that Kusanagi is a cheerful omnisexual. She's still the major, and that is one of the facts that makes her a genuine strong female character: her being a woman isn't a defining part of her character. Her being...

Meh, I'd say it's decent enough animation based on the few episodes I've seen. Technical quality is good, voice acting is between acceptable and good, and as far as episodal plots go they're fairly standard fare for a kids show. I do find it refreshing in the sense that some fairly serious...

Not really, but since we were speaking of internal consistency (and GitS has shown lift and force and aerodynamics of helicopters function as normal), that's a pretty big minus. Like I said, great series but has standard anime pitfalls.

Shouldn't have to wait? Does or does not the company have pre-established paydays? Normally once or twice a month? If yes, they are not obligated to pay you anything outside of those timeframes/specific dates. At no point was, based on your description, non-payment raised up. You would have...

And yet their fail basic physics. How much does the Major weight? Not that much, considering he doesn't cracks the surface she walks on. On what direction is the velocity vector of the helicopter she's holding in position in that very scene? At least partially, if not mostly, upwards. The...

Based on what I read there, assuming you did not forget any details, that's completely normal and not 'screwing you over' in any degree. 1. Yes, your specific boss quite probably is the only one who can authorize your paycheck. This is normal practice if you're paid by hour. If he was on...

That is a good point, but there are limits to that as well. Let's say the enemy is camping your gen room with two heavies, with an infiltrator there somewhere. is it worth it, to go down there and try to root them out with 4 or 5 guys as backup to couple of techies? I say it is not. Let...

Well, reached rank 20 a few days ago and here's what I've learned of this addictive game, As defensive Technician: 1. Learn where enemy is likely to come, and place turrets. Combine this with mines, force-fields or other such equipment set by others, which reveals invisible enemies as well...

What is this in my pocket? Oh my, ticket to the pre-screening tour... Only to see what the minds behind Star Wreck can do with a price-winning writer doing the scripts and actual budget and actors.

Ahh, an e-peen competition. For 99.99% of us, our 'fame' is nonexistent and our presence irrelevant. Anyone thinking otherwise is seriously deluding themselves. A viral Youtube video is not fame, much in the same manner that a man running naked on the street is not famous: Everyone will...

Seeing as how evil is a concept that is not absolute but relative to the social surrounding and culture, the answer would have to be "social." The problem with D&D in this regard is that dragons over there have genetic memory. They remember almost everything their parents did. And...

You know what strikes me first in this whole story? Not the fact that a dead person was sued for a hospital bill that her detached body part caused to a bystander when she was violently killed. The fact that the wounded bystander has a significant hospital bill to take care of at all...

Considering the stuff we've seen some of them do over the years, up to and including knowlignly ignoring Geneva Conventions, I'm not all that surprised. More saddened than anything really. And it ought to say something of the rep US soldiers have out in the world, that my friends' first...

Space taxi [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Taxi], on Commodore 64. I think it was the year 1989 or 1990, I was around 6 years old. Few years later, we got the 8-bit Nintendo and holy frak were Super Mario 1 and Duck Hunt awesome.

Than allow me to be the first. New Vegas rocked FO3. My main beef with New Vegas (besides the occasional crashes) was that the 'normal' mode was actually 'easy' mode and 'harcore' was 'normal'. The second largest problem was the too tied-down final plotline. Why couldn't I become the ruler...
