Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death. A pretty amusing comedy special with Rowan Atkinson as the Doctor. (I'd just embed it, but they have embedding disabled, and I think this is the only copy in one part. Bah.)

I totally disagree with you on that one! But, I'd rather not argue something that subjective especially with Wyrdwad The Argue-est King of Arguers.

No, not really. In fact, it looks quite a bit like a real woman, you know, those things you can see walking around outside.
She looks less apparently mannish in he normal outfits, but ultimately it doesn't matters since she's wireframe and texture.

Yeah, but you like stupid chibi faces, so your opinion isn't quite valid with something that strives for at least semi-realistic characters.

You like Lady Gaga, so your opinion is invalid.  Seriously, a person's likes/dislikes doesn't make their opinions any more or less valid. Unless they're white supremacists. // I need to stop bringing up white supremacist groups -- because I always have to clarify thereafter. Clearly, their opinions are less valid. That'll be all! |

Dude, I was talking about in this context, and just making jabs.
Obviously his opinion is valid, just not so much in this context.

I agree wholeheartedly with our friend.  Yes, realism isn't meant to be in video games. Take Grand Theft Auto for example -- sure it's fun blowing stuff up, and doing some of the missions, but also downright frustrating because you're limited to alternate-universe-you, where you're still just as out-of-shape, expendable and fragile as the next man. The game engine itself just isn't that good either. In some of those games, you can't even SWIM. (CJ can swim, but can the Italian? Nooo... why is that? Do they have something against Italians?!) The gameplay is incredibly slow, sometimes seemingly taking HOURS to drive from location to location. I'll take Mario, Link, Samus, Belmont/Vampire, Megaman, Snake and Sonic (no matter what the popular vote has to say about his next-gen performance!) over the likes of these lame overly realistic generic movie characters any day of the week! |

I was sounding really harsh there, I apologize. I personally like a mix-and-match of realism vs non-realism, but of course I believe games should be first and formost fun. This of course boils down to a difference in opinions. I never said, btw, that I think she's particularly attractive, because, she's wireframe and textures. I mean, sure, I've caught myself enjoying the idea of digital characters, if they were real, but it is limited to that, since they're not. That said, I'm tired of how American animators for games appear to have no ability for modelling remotely attractive female characters. I mean, like I said, it isn't like I'd get hot for coding, but you'd think they'd have some design aesthetic going on. The thing is, what's the point of arguing this? She seems mannish to you, I don't really give a shit/she doesn't seem particularly mannish to me.  See, this is her in the game. Although it is rendered better, its still the same thing. Does that look mannish? If she looks mannish OR really even realistic, then I don't know what you think is real life men look like. Because she doesn't look like either. |

I've never seen a crowd get so hype for the appearance of Yatterman-2. They also loved Yatter-wan
..shame Marn won, though

Ahahaha. The review. ^^;
I never knew that the story in this game was so complicated! All I knew was that Minax was after the Avatar for killingussss her teacher/lover or whatever from Ultima I.
And then III was about their offspring or whatever.
Regardless, I'm glad that IV onward took on a different storyline. :P
Also, this guy makes Ultima II sound terrible!!!!!

Project DIVA Edit PV with Tunak Tunak Tun as the song.
I quite like the editing in this. ^^~

It's not as awesome without Daler Mehndi(s). Don't mess with the original

Wonder why they didn't use the Miku version of Tunak Tunak Tun, though... Cuz it's annoying and the original singer's is way better. But I agree about the finger walk and I love Miku's constant ^_^ face (though I think the mouth was sort of open) in the "original" Miku MV of the song. |

You, sir, are a poor model for Netiquette. :(
Also, will watch those videos later when I'm at home with me less expensive bandwidth connection. :B
