  2. Here's my reasoning : "Classic Simpsons or Modern Simpsons? " < = > "What's more True, True or False" So seems a bit redundant. I'm sane, not senile. *blinks*. God, I'm sane. Ketchup or Catsup?
  3. Picard > Kirk >>>>> "Crisco" > Literally Who?
  4. Do you even need to ask? Sneed's or Chuck's?
  5. Sometimes I wonder if it's at all possible for people to connect with each other on a an emotional level. Maybe we just project what we want onto others based on a few nebulous markers, making reltaionships like love and friendship simply a form of mutual self-hypnosis. I mean, pizza gets old quick if it's the only thing you can afford to eat at college.

  7. Welcome my son,. Welcomeee to the machine
  8. No, Ross. The intro is iconic and should never be glossed over. This is pavlov's dog: you ring the bell and bring out the food. We're all still eating but also experiencing acute mental anguish.
  9. Just gonna sneak in here while the site is being overhauled...
  10. Ross, I mentioned this on another thread, but if you're going prevent BTG from using his Data gif, then you must seriously consider the possibility of the Crystalline Entity manifesting and killing everyone on this site.
  11. >Bullseye >Different avatar So when is the Crystalline Entity coming to harvest this site, Mr. Lore?
  12. I think an agnostic approach is more suitable. I've only been here a few years, but it appears to me that Ross is more of watchmaker than a lynch pin. Any future non-cosmetic changes would have to be pushed through by us, the community. And by us, I mean *you* (jk)
  13. To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
  14. That's right guys, Yeb! Bush 2020. Mark your calendars.
  15. Yes
  16. The UI here seems to changing on the fly. No no no, I don't want to be a schizophrenic! Nah we're just quoting Freeman's mind out the ass. Everything seems fine Apart from a few minor font glitches, and the /videos route not working for me. Says I don't have permission.
  17. Where is all my stuff! WHERE IS MY STASH!
  18. and john madden Link was dead, let's go bowling cousin, with pleasure Darth Vader
  19. General Kenobi, hahahaha, you are a bold one.
  20. Here's a list of a few that came to mind and made a lasting impression on me: Penguin Drum: An Avant Garde series ripping off Pink Floyd The Wall and Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Hella forced in most parts, but has some genuinely funny bits. So-so. Kaiji: Some of the best tension in any show, ever. Not so great the second time through though. Also, season two has a very solid opening but you can definitely feel the padding towards the end. Ghost in the Shell SAC: I'd reccomend this to anyone who enjoyed the first Deus Ex film. Unlike it's big movie counter part, this series focuses less on ham-fisted philosophy and more on the social consequences of living in a futuristic, hyper connected world, which is still largely believable. And government conspiracies. Legend of the Galactic Heroes: This is like the first of the Foundation novel was combined with War and Peace and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Definitely a slow burn, but I think it's worth it if you're into military and political science fiction... in space. But really, the selling point of this series is that almost non of the characters are sociopaths, despite the premise. Code Geass: This might be Japan's equivalent of the Sistine Chapel. It's not perfect, but the scope and depth of the of the story they pulled off is beyond remarkable. It's amazing, really, and it's the type of anime that makes you feel a deep inner shame for America every time an above-average Marvel flick comes out and gets lauded as some kind of corner stone of culture. Goes without saying, but I believe that Code Geass stands head-and-shoulders above any fantasy film series that Hollywood has produced in the past 30 years. Hunter X Hunter: Well, what can I say about this series, besides that it's the greatest thing I've ever watched/read/listened to, whatever. It doesn't excel in any particular category; others have better world-building, better character development, better soundtrack, more twists in the story (arguably ), etc. But what HxH does well is take the classic blue-print of the Hero's Journey and completely turn it on it's head, so much so that I had to re-evaluate my own personal set of morals and ethics by the end of it. No other work of fiction did that for me, and I'm the type of soulless bug-man that actually enjoyed slogging through all the "distinguished" novels in English class. But even putting all that shit aside, Hxh would still make this list due to its excellent subversion of the Shounen genre. Greatest of all time. Game of the Year.
  21. Yeah, only 12 year old turbo autists and 4chan derivatives (like r/4chan) take shit like "kekistan" seriously. Most of the content on there these is days is discussions, varying forms of creative expression, and inside jokes. There is really nothing mythical about it.
  22. Maybe Disney can quench the thirst of millions of Star Wars fans, but nothing combats thirst better than a refreshing ice cold Coca-Cola https://us.coca-cola.com

  24. There sure are a lot of blasphemous heretics on this site /s I'd be s lot more excited about the new direction if it didn't shit on the foundations of the OT, e.g Luke. But even putting that aside, I don't think it's good enough to hold a candle to the star wars namesake. Much better than the prequels, but still disappointing.
