  1. Well what it really is, Is that I have a friend that has all the Equipment and stuff and I do graphic work for him from time to time. I will have to see if he has a site running but I think he currently doesn't. I will talk to him and see he says. I know he makes patches and stuff for the Martial arts community. But I will definitely give him a call and see what he can do. I am currently in the middle of moving so I can't say if it will be right away but I will try to get a hold of him sometime soon.

    He is mainly a photographer as well. So he might go for it or not. Also depends where he is at right now. I know he is shooting a few martial arts tournaments. He might already be in Thailand. So patients might be needed. But I think I can get him to make a few. I will see about setting him up a website for this kinda of stuff or an Ebay store lol.

    What I will need is good screen shots of the Jackets and logo's that you want done and I can see if I can prep them for his machines.

    I'd definitely love an SMS logo sticker (with or without the skull, but with the skull preferrably) to put on the back of the white PSP I just got.

    If you get the chance to talk to your friend in regards to it, it would be great :)

  2. Got a Rainbow here. Drowns the dust in water.

    Aside from being a quite decent(and cheap!) filtration media, it makes emptying the canister a lot cleaner.

    ...

    And safer for those of us with serious dust allergies.

    That rainbow vacuum looks... very much like a bong in how it works.

    Maybe it's just me :huh:

  3. bah forget all that. Sorry to piss all over your thread Mcbride. But there is a better choice. Granted 40 dollars is nice. But anyway there is a Phillips DVD player called DVP-642 at Best Buy for like 70 bucks. Plays Divx!!!!! and if you open the cd tray and hit 7,8,9,OK,0,OK it unlocks the region on teh DVD player.

    Also the 10.2" screen portable Mintek DVD player at Costco for $350 is region hackable and plays divx.

    I have the DVP-642 myself, and I love it.

    It can play a fair amount of .avi files, so I use it to watch downloaded anime on the tv. I just burn a regular cd-r as a data disc with the .avi files on it, and I'm good to go. The only files I've had problems with are ones that were QPEL encoded.

    It can be had at Wal-Mart as well for ~70 bucks.

  4. It's not cancelled, it's being moved from Fuji TV to Fuji's satellite station.

    There won't be a new episode for a long time, because they're going to show the series from the beginning again before continuing with the story.

  5. Codec packs are probably the worst things you can install to play something. If you're playing a file that more than one codec covers, the computer can start to freak out.

    When people have problems like this, I usually reccommend they uninstall all their codecs (especially codec packs) and install ffdshow ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow ). It's a single filter that will handle most codecs that anime is encoded in.

    There's a good pinned thread over at AnimeSuki that is helpful if you're trying to watch something that ffdshow doesn't cover (like .mkv or .ogg/.ogm files): http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=175

  6. Just letting you guys know, ep. 2 doesn't contain the dynamic scene transitions (i.e. the scratching and whatnot) that ep.1 had.

    It's still good though.

    edit: I'm not too sure as to this board's rule on linking to licensed anime downloads, but yeah, Samurai Champloo is licensed by Geneon (it was prelicensed awhile back).

  7. ...One thing about the sakabatou would be the curve of the blade. Katanas have that slight curve to help with the slicing motion, and I would have to wonder, if using the reversed blade to cut, that would have to work against the swing, wouldn't it?.

    I'm thinking that's the point. The entire purpose of the reverse-blade is to allow normal sword-wielding techniques without the typical lethal results.

    The sharp side isn't meant to be used very often, more as a last resort. So if it takes a little more effort to use it for it's intended purpose, it's a bit of a moot point if you're in a situation where you've got to use it in the first place.

  8. I just received my first Banpresto Super VF-1.  The little sucker looks pretty cute in all modes, but it is extremely floppy.  My biggest problem is the backpack in battroid mode.  It just will not stay up.  Any way to secure the backpack up in battroid?  Also, the arm armour will not stay on the forearms.  They just keep "popping" out.  Any suggestions for that?

    For the backpack, disassemble it and put a little clear nail polish on the hinge to thicken it up. That should help. When you get it apart, it'll be obvious what should be thickened.

    As for the arm armor, you can put something like tape or some other light adhesive substance behind them.

    What I did for my custom, was permanently attach all the armor with superglue to the valk after I painted, as well as glue the "flap" the head was designed to pass through permanently down since it was floppy as well. It works fine, and can still fully transform even with that flap glued, it just takes a little more coaxing to get the head to pass through.

    the attached pic was taken before i finished painting the hands and final touching up on the shoulders/arms... oh, and i don't have a digicam so this was done with a scanner :p

  9. Slightly on topic... more for the sanity of the board...

    When you guys "delete" threads, do you actually delete the threads, or just move it to where it can no longer be seen?

    The board I admin at also has a fairly high traffic/post rate, and threads have to be removed quite often. From what I (and a few other board admins) have found, is that when you remove a lot of threads (as in delete completely), it can sometimes cause some database problems if the db counters aren't updated after the thread is deleted (for thread numbering purposes).

    So, what I've noticed on a few boards, is that there is a special section that is essentially a "black hole" for posts, only viewable to mods/admins, where "deleted" threads go. This is to both keep the db happy, as well as document user behavior (in case someone seems trollish, other mods can see if there have been other removed threads without having to consult the other mods). Nothing in that section is searchable (to the public), the posts in there don't count towards users post count, etc., as if the posts/threads never existed in the first place.

    I know you guys already have a mod-only section, I just figured this would be a good suggestion to keep the board from going funky (i.e. wrong thread posters, wrong times) the way the old board would get on rare occassion.

  10. Ikkitousen is the only one I've seen on that list.

    The best way to describe it is fan-service galore. Seriously. Bouncing breasts and panty shots abound here. Often times it borders on being hentai.

    Plot-wise, it seems fairly standard fare: girl is a descendent of a powerful fighter, girl goes to a new place, people want to fight girl, girl fights people, girl is also fairly dumb and hijinks abound!

    Not exactly top-notch anime, but it kept me amused to some degree. I give it about a 6.5 out of 10 so far, as there are only a few episodes out anyways.
