Never seen Summer Wars and it's been too long since I've watched Girl Who Leapt through Time, so I can't say about those, but I love Wolf Children.

TGWLTT's third act was pretty disappointing to me. Really didn't like the plot twist.

Girl who lept through time was boring, I enjoyed summer wars much more than it.

I'm surprised even though I know I shouldn't be >.>

Summer wars was amazing. The ending battle chokes me up every time

bleh

Amazon Prime Day sale has been a complete and total bust.

by smirkytrick Wed Jul 15, 2015 4:34 pm

Today I learned that Ranch flavored potato ships and powdered donuts go great together.

Also my volvo has to get a new head gasket and that's gonna cost me around $2,000... fucking economy.

by Lunacy Wed Jul 15, 2015 4:34 pm

Indeed. People have been ripping Amazon, on twitter, all day long.

As mean as this sounds, they kinda deserve it. They've spent the past week hyping up what is a shit sale. Amazon JP on the other hand has had some awesome deals apparently. Macbooks 50% off, a 4k tv for $6 USD, etc

I'll be at Ballys on the main strip (I think that's "the strip"?)

And I can probably make some time for those things as well, as I'm going with a number of friends and they all definitely want to do a lot of "vegas things" while they're out like eating etc

by **-Mazer** Wed Jul 15, 2015 6:55 pm

Ballys is a nice place and yeah, it's Strip-ish.

Well my funds are very tight otherwise I'd ask you to goto the Evil Dead Musical with me. If you guys want, we can try to hang out either Friday morning or Sunday 'fternoon at "High Scores". It's a bar with gourmet bar food and free video games.

I wish I was here to talk about Iwata with you guys. I said a lot about him over on CR, the guy was great. I was touched by all the reactions from everyone in the industry.

The only person that gave a douchebag tweet was good ol' Michael Pachter.

But at least he apologized.

by **-Mazer** Wed Jul 15, 2015 7:35 pm

Tweet apologies are as useless as a wet tissue used to keep the rain off your head. He isn't sorry. He's sorry that he got backlash.

To be fair though, he wasn't zmog disrespectful in my eyes and I hate the guy

by LegendX48 Wed Jul 15, 2015 7:44 pm

Am I the only one who doesn't see anything disrespectful in his first tweet?

by Cybersix Wed Jul 15, 2015 7:45 pm

Kinda annoyed at the lack of good sales on Amazon.

I didn't either.

Honestly, I didn't either. It was actually decent "Hey, I didn't like the guy but that doesn't mean I cannot honor his life."...nothing wrong with that.

I just don't like Patcher :3

same here, they have been laughable.
