  1. Of course the Japanese government (3rd richest in the world) gives to disaster relief, I am talking about individual charitable contributions like the members on this board are making of course. Ever notice how the Japanese charity collectors outside Shibuya station specifically target white people for money? Actually Japan ranks 119 out of 153 nations in the World Giving Index compiled by charities. Pretty weak for a wealthy nation wouldnt you say? But like I said its a cultural thing and Japan is an Asian culture which is based on shame rather than guilt. (China ranks almost dead last). You can see the report here: http://www.cafonline.org/Default.aspx?page=19428 In other news the commercial media here is beating this whole thing up so bad too, saying how their reporters are now fleeing Fukushima and Tokyo and the whole country because its just `too dangerous`. Also saying how Japan is apparantly seeking help from Australian nuclear experts...um.. we have 1 nuclear reactor, Japan has 55 why the fxxx would our experts know more?? Sounds like bullsxxx to make Australian viewers feel important to me. other experts have been on TV fielding questions like `what is the danger to Australian cities?` and giving answers like `while the radiation will spread out through the whole world, Australia should survive the worst of it.` After this incident I have an even better opinion of nuclear power than I did before. an 8.9 and a tsunami cant even fully take these motherfxxxxxs out.
  2. well more specifically they are non-anomorphic transfers that do not look good on widescreen TVs. I got the definitive LDs yesterday. Very happy, love that LD smoothness as well. by the way I hope the world ends in 2012 as predicted just so I dont have to experience 3D star wars.
  3. Call ME heartless and you are welcome to do whatever you want with your money but I won`t be donating to this appeal. There`s just something off about it seeing as Japann is a rich country but their public generally do not give to charity of any kind themselves. I mean theres something I just don`t like about the Japanese students at my local university asking for donations now but a month ago when Australia had its biggest floods in half a century and thousands were made homeless they didn`t give a fvck. I know the Australian floods were nothing like this scale but still a lot of Australians gave but Japanese culturally do not give money to charity. They seem happy to ask for it though? Just doesn`t sit right with me is all.. Now giving to a country that gives like the US, or a dirt poor country that has nothing to start with, that I can get behind.
  4. That would be cool, but why settle for properly computer animated VF-1s? Why not aim for properly HAND animated VF-1s, like with every episode being on par with episode 18 of SDFM? Now add widescreen and high resolution capture and you have something special that old and new anime fans could appreciate.
  5. I`m basically hoping to see Aliens, except the Marines have modern day equipment. Actually, why don`t I just go and watch my aliens LD instead? I don`t know.. Disagree, Skyline was great. So many cool death sequences and a cool twist ending. What do you expect from a popcorn movie?
  6. A Macross 7 sequel petition? I`m starting my own petition, just quote this post and put your name down if you actively oppose a Macross 7 sequel. No sequel is better than a Macross 7 sequel I say.
  7. Went to a house party on the weekend. They had a Japanese Wii and a subscribtion to the Japanese Joysound karaoke service (basically every song in those tombs they have in Japanese karaoke booths on demand online). Are there ANY plans or rumours about this coming to PS3? It seems like the perfect excuse to get Japanese girls in my room !! : )
  8. beautiful LA, never seen that before. Where would people here who own them say the best place to buy original SDF doujin would be? Mandarake in Nakano or online?
  9. Coolness. Does it go online to check gracenote, you put in the title info manually or is that one of the few CDs that was actually encoded with title information?
  10. I guess if I had that CD player Id want to brag about it every chance I got too?
  11. Yeah and 2 and a half men doesn`t make any sense either. Alan is a full time chiropractor but in the span of 8 years can`t manage to save up enough money to move out of his brother`s house.
  12. Not the biggest music collection here LA2019 but definatley one of the nicest.
